Heifer Facility
The heifer facility was purchased in 1985 from the Blew family. Many barns have been added over the years to support the growing number of milking cows.

Three new barns have been added to the heifer complex since the above photo was taken. There are currently ~3500 heifers housed at this location, ranging from 5 months to 22 months of age.
This barn was built in 1998 and now houses pregnant and springing heifers. The 8 row, outside feeding design maximizes space and is very cost effective to build. Manure from all barns is manually scraped into 3 storage lagoons where it is then irrigated on nearby fields. Several different barn designs have been experimented with over the years.
