Farmall Collectors You may have too many cattle right now, but you can never have too many vintage tractors, right? We have a Farmall Super MTA for sale. Serial no. 69724 S TA works, straight tin. It was always my plan to restore this tractor, but it’s not going to happen. My dad bought it from my grandpa’s best friend, Bernard Friedrich, who farmed for many years south of Juda, WI.

A 200-cow herd with 200 SCC loses 160,000 lbs. of milk per year. “Our herd’s ration has Immu-Pro in it every day.” Just as Wisconsin is known for world-famous cheese, the Kestell family is synonymous with their ultra-high milk production, predominantly home-bred herd. Top dairymen worldwide know the great Ever-GreenView herd and frequently purchase their embryos and breeding stock, and often visit and consult with the Kestells. With a rolling herd average of 45,000M 1710F 1397P 3x (the world’s highest herd average) and great BAA of 111.4%, 52 EX and 72 VG cows, it’s easy to see why. Tom and Gin were selected the 2017 Distinguished Cattle Breeders by Dairy Shine. Tom greatly credits success to family, employees, supporting professionals, and friends. Tom and family pour out their lives to help dairymen everywhere achieve success by offering free advice and guidance. Their Ever-Green-View My Gold EX-93 was former world’s record holder 77,477 lbs, together with her dam 72,170 lbs EX-92 – the only world record holding dam and daughter pair. “Immu-Pro is obviously part of our success.” Ever-Green-View LLC, The Kestell Families, Waldo , WI • tkestell@excel.net

“...an important piece in our management.” — Robert Kircher

FOREST GLEN OAKS FARMS, DAYTON, OREGON Dan Bansen family, 2nd and 3rd generation owners Robert Kircher, co-owner and general manager 1700 registered Jerseys at two farm locations Certified Organic, 50 lbs/cow/day, 220,000 SCC

“We believe in the comfort of the cow and producing high quality milk. Udder Comfort™ is the udder care product that has become a big part of that,” says Robert Kircher, general manager and partner in Forest Glen Oaks Farms, Dayton, Oregon, where they milk 1700 registered Jerseys, including 1500 at the main farm. The dairy is internationally recognized for its breeding program and produces milk for the organic market. Robert enjoys the challenge and fell in love with working around dairy cows at Forest Glen Oaks since he was 11. He earned his ag and dairy science degree from Oregon State before becoming a manager and then partner with Dan Bansen and his family at their second and third generation farm. “We’ve been using Udder Comfort for 5 years here, mainly for fresh cows with edema as well as any cow showing high somatic cell counts or mastitis.

“We like that we have an effective product like this available to us. It is an important piece in our management.”

Quality Udders Make Quality Milk

Keep the milk in the system 1.888.773.7153 1.613.652.9086 uddercomfort.com Call to locate a distributor near you.
