Ohio Holstein breeders enjoyed a beautiful, warm sunny Saturday at the Ohio Holstein Breeder Tour, hosted by Velvet-View Farms in Big Prairie, Ohio. The Schlauch family operates a smaller, high type, show cow operation and process their own yogurt and ice cream, which were available for the visitors as part of a delicious lunch! They also have an IVF facility newly incorporated in the operation.
The guest speaker was Emily Mullen of The Mullen Dairy and Creamy in Okeana, Ohio. She spoke of the innovations she implemented on her family’s generational dairy farm to keep the operations going in current times.
Enjoy the pictures below and thank you to all who came out and supported Velvet-View Farms and the Ohio Holstein Association.
