Meet Dairy Farmers
Elite Dairy Herd Ranks High for the Jersey Breed
I recently caught up with fellow Jersey dairy farmers Jerry and Sue Spielman of Heartland Jerseys in Seneca, Kansas to tell their story. I was impressed to say the least, after reading the latest Jersey Journal, our breed’s magazine, to see that Heartland Jerseys rank in the top 10 percent in the nation for milk production and milk components (like protein) for the breed.
True Meaning of Family Farm
The Gerdes Dairy is a three-generation Minnesota family farm whose mission is to work together and learn together. Will and Carol Gerdes and their eight children – ages 26 to seven – are are very successful in doing just that.
Keen Attention to Detail
For Randy and Jennifer, who are the managing partners of Prairie Gold Dairy LLC, cow comfort and management consistency are business basics for their 3,600-cow dairy off of the I-29 corridor in Elkton, South Dakota.
