reetings from northwestern Pennsylvania! Harvest is done and quite a few are preparing for hunting season and the long winter months
I can hardly wait to see this issue in print and for you to find it in your mailbox! With each issue, I settle more and more into this job and enjoy getting to know each of you. That is probably my favorite part of the job. Your kindness and willingness to work with me to create such a great issue is overwhelming! Having the opportunity to offer assistance and see the vision of a
As I put this issue together, I reflected on the ebbs and flows of life. Over the last several months we have lost some amazing people in the Holstein business. We offer our condolences as the families navigate these losses. My life was also thrown a curve, as we laid my trusty sidekick, Pepper, to rest. She was the epitome of “mans best friend”. But while we grieve for departed family members, our pets or our best cow, we can also delight in all the joy that comes our way. New calves, seeds emerging from the soil, and the most precious gift of all… the next generation of Holstein enthusiasts. Be sure to check out some of them within the pages of
I wish you all a Thanksgiving of plenty, a Christmas overflowing with wonder and joy, and a New Year filled with promise.

Penn Dell Farm is saddened to announce the passing of Jay Houser on October 26th. Born in 1934 in Mifflin County, Jay grew up working with his dad under their prefix Neecarnio Holsteins, where he was taught the importance of hard work and respect for dairy cattle. In 1958, Jay and his father Howard moved to Spring Mills and bought Penn Dell Farm. Jay married the love of his life Mary, and together they had five children, seven grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Throughout the years, Jay and Mary focused on breeding high-quality milk and type cows, while raising superior crops to provide the best for his bovine friends. Through their hard work, they received many PBR awards by placing young sires into AI and having many state and national production records. An active member of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association, Jay was the 1996-98 President, a 1998 Hall of Fame inductee, and a lifetime supporter. Outside of PHA, Jay had active roles in DHIA, Sire Power, 4H, Pa Farm Bureau, Centre County Crop Improvement Association, Centre/Clinton FSA Board, Centre County Extension, and his local church. Jay had traveled to countless state and national conventions, creating many friendships with people across the country. Being such an avid dairyman, Jay served as a Pa National director for six years, doing his own part to make many positive changes and advancements for his fellow farmers. In 2014, after the passing of Mary in 2006, Jay began to live out his retirement days with, as he would say, "his wonderful wife," Gladys Hartle Houser. Without Jay, Penn Dell Farm would not be where it is today. We thank everyone who has reached out out to us in support during this difficult time, Jay has made such an impact on so many peoples lives. We will miss his big smile and his "cackle" laugh, but know he is up there making sure those cows in Heaven are getting loved.

As I start this writing, I am thinking about the change of seasons; we are leaving fall and entering, dare I say, winter. It has been one of the most colorful fall seasons I can remember, and the quality of pictures I have seen on social media is spectacular. I’m not sure which season to call the busy season; from spring planting to summer hay harvest, to fall seeding and harvest. Then comes the winter work with all the challenges that go with the weather and care of livestock. As dairy farmers we are unique, because every day brings a daily routine unlike any other way of life.
The summer seemed to get away from us fairly quickly this year; it was a busy time for us at C-Cove. Our daughter, Molly, finished her year of service as a state FFA officer. Dana and I, along with our son Tyler, attended the FFA State Convention where we witnessed Molly’s team on stage running the show. The professionalism on display by these young people is second to none!
In June, Dana and I took the opportunity to drive to the National Holstein Convention in South Dakota. Our copilot was none other than David J. Lentz, who was able to arrange some awesome tours at Triple-T Holsteins in Ohio and Farnear Holsteins in eastern Iowa. Both stops had three things in common: great facilities, great cows, and great people!
The Convention was a great success for the state of Pennsylvania. Our delegation led the passage of a couple resolutions to forward progress and hopefully bring added value
to the everyday breeders’ kind of cattle, and not just the top end on genomics and type. I am also very proud of our fellow breeder, John Burket, as he is our new National Vice President. Congratulations John!
After getting home from convention we got back into work mode and started making preparations for the summer and fall shows. I am pleasantly surprised at the number of entries at all of the Championship Shows despite the costs and everything it takes to attend. Congratulations to all the participants! This is one of the programs that keeps PHA strong and viable.
Dana and I also had the opportunity to attend a couple of summer picnics; both were what I would call a revitalization of the county club events. It was great to see a renewed interest in Holsteins activities!
It was so good to see numbers back to normal at the AllAmerican Dairy Show! What a great place for Pennsylvania breeders to showcase their cattle and renew the friendships that have developed over the years. I wasn’t able to attend World Dairy Expo this year, but I was able to watch a C-Cove bred animal walk the colored shavings in the Milking Yearling class. What a thrill it is to see your breeding program on display at the world’s greatest cow show!
As the winter months quickly approach, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas! And I hope to see you all in February at the State Convention! -

Ripples in the Water
-By Rose Morian
but they used to be prominent enough to have christened the farm name: Maplesrow. The founder, Robert Freyermuth, mostly known as Bob, left an impact still remembered today, 33 years after his cows were milked on the farm for the last time, and 18 years after his death. Sometimes it’s not about how big of a splash you make in life, but how far the ripples extend through time. Bob made many ripples, so it’s not a surprise that in his home county of Crawford, his influence is still felt.
Bob’s father, Arden, was a contractor, and he taught his sons the trade which would suit them well over the years. After spending four years in Okinawa, Japan with the Army, Bob came home and began milking on a farm Arden bought. He was milking full time there when he married his wife, Barb, in November of 1955. In 1960, they would move their home to the place they named Maplesrow Farm. Barb was a city girl, yet she went to the barn and learned to help until their three daughters and one son started coming, and they took over her chores as they grew. When the kids began to get married and move out, Barb once again started helping in the barn. Elaine Duncan, a neighbor, recalled when they first moved into the neighborhood and began farming, Barb brought over pies to welcome them. “Barb was not really a cow person, but she was there when you needed her.” “What a nice person,” said their friend Jerry Donovan, “Barb was his ‘ride or die’ if there ever was one, before that was even a thing.” When Jerry asked her, years later after moving their home numerous times, if she wanted to move again, Barb said simply, “That’s my man; I’d follow him anywhere.”
Bob was passionate about Registered Holsteins, and began registering under the Maplesrow prefix in 1967, with the last cow to carry the prefix being registered in 1995. When his oldest two kids started showing in 4-H, he took his first steps in the open show ring at the county fair and fell in love with it. “I loved seeing him so happy for that week,” his daughter Carol said. “It was our favorite week of the year too, and it wasn’t about the midway or the rides, it was about the people and the other kids there, the people of Barn 4 became our family.” Carol remembered the week from her perspective as a kid; it was the one week out of the year when she and her siblings didn’t have to do their normal barn chores. Bob and Barb picked up the slack at home so that the kids could stay at the fair with their cows. “But he would be in at the fair 16-17 hours a day, too; he would go home to milk and come back to the fair, not leaving for the night until late, around one in the morning.”
This love of showing and devotion to improve led Bob to become involved at the county level in many different aspects. At the fair he worked on improving the show arena, was instrumental in creating the 4-H cheese auction, served on show committees, was a member of the fair dairy committee, and a 20 year member of the county Holstein Club. He was involved with the Irish Holiday and Northwest Breeders sales in Crawford County, and spent hours and many miles traveling with other committee members to select cattle for the sales. Bob also served on the county soil committee, Farm Credit, DHIA and extension boards, working on behalf of the farms and farmers in every aspect he could. At the state level he served as a Pennsylvania Holstein director for six years and on the executive committee for three.

How one man’s passion created a legacy worth leaving.
He was passionate; and it all started with the cow, the Holstein cow.
“ ”
Bob loved to show, and got excited to attend the Championship shows, no matter the distance. One friend recalled when Bob wanted to attend a Championship show and got together with another breeder who also wanted to attend. One of them saw an old cattle truck pulled way back in with weeds grown up around it and said to the other, “Do you think that old cattle truck in the hedgerow will run?” Neither was
The Freyermuth Cow
While the Donovan family was milking Bob's few remaining cows, and when he wasn’t showing, Bob was buying property and either building or remodeling homes or entire farms. In this way he was able to put the carpentry skills he had learned from his father to use as his “retirement.” He would then move to another home, start over, and sell the recently finished home, often owner financing for the buyer. Bob had also owner financed Maplesrow when he sold it, leaving the farm in pristine condition for the new owners. “He was a smart man,” Donovan said, “he would owner finance, which helped the buyer, and he made the money paid in interest.” The one thing he took with him from Maplesrow Farm was a life-sized fiberglass Holstein cow that had sat out front in the midst of a brick flowerbed. “When he ordered that cow from Nasco, they sent him a Jersey painted as a Holstein,” said Carol, “And he sent it back.” As a Holstein purist, Bob explained to someone at Nasco that the Jersey type cow would not do, even though it had been repainted black and white; the next cow they sent was, indeed, a Holstein.
recalled how he poured his knowledge and experience into the youth, being passionate in his vigor to pass on what he knew to help others learn and grow. When the county club was looking for people to work at their sales, Bob influenced the decision to have the Junior Holstein members clip, prep, and care for the sale cattle. He saw it as benefiting both the club and the youth, giving the kids the responsibility and environment to flourish.
“We didn’t realize how many people we had shared Grandpa and Grandma with,” his granddaughter Kelly said, recalling the hours spent hearing stories at the funeral home when he passed in 2004. “All the people came together for our family, not just Grandpa and Grandma.” She went on to say that even today, working around 45 minutes away from the community Bob and Barb lived in, and in a non-farming field of work, she talks with someone every week or two who knew and fondly remembers her grandparents.
Not only did Bob love and spend time and knowledge investing in the youth, but he was passionate about his cows. “He loved cattle and bred cattle for years,” Donovan said, “He had all these theories about breeding that he had developed over the years.” When Bob sold his herd and Maplesrow Farm in 1989 due to health issues, he took the few that he felt weren’t in condition to sell to the Donovan family’s Wind-Port Farm. There they were cared for over the next few years by Jerry and his wife, Debbie, as Bob continued to breed and show, as well as sell their progeny. He still loved attending the Championship shows across the state, and as he got older he would load up his cows and take Jerry and Debbie’s’ daughter, Amber (who was also passionate about showing), along to the shows. As is so often the case in showing, it was mutually beneficial, as it’s likely neither could have attended without the help of the other.
“She was the only thing like that around here,” Jerry Donovan said, and when the National Holstein Convention came to Pittsburgh in 1995, the people in charge asked to borrow the cow. She was to be the first thing people saw when they walked into the convention. Bob agreed to send the cow down provided she have a paint job first, in order to look her best, and an agreement was reached. She received her paint job and headed to Pittsburgh on a trailer.
After Bob and Barb moved twice and were preparing to move yet again in their “retirement,” they decided the cow should find a more suitable and permanent place. Still being very proactive on behalf of Holstein breeders and dairy farmers, Bob donated the cow to the Crawford County Dairy Committee. The cow was to be mounted on a trailer so that she could be pulled in parades, and also placed beside the milking parlor during fair week to attract fairgoers in to talk with the farmers and 4-H members as they milked. She has done exactly that ever since.

Dad was all about family,” Carol remembered, “Because, c’mon, family, farming, and faith-they go together.
“ ”
On January 6, 2010, the massive two-year-old coverall type barn on the fairgrounds collapsed under the heavy snowload and damaged the Freyermuth cow. Great care was taken as she was collected, put back together and repaired by MFG of Union City, and then painted by John Fuller, the body shop instructor at the Crawford County Vo-Tech. In 2022, the cow was removed from the trailer and placed on the roof of the milkhouse, overlooking the milking parlor and spectators. Beside her is the Maplesrow Farm sign, and a sign telling her story and the story of Bob and Barb Freyermuth.
A Lasting Impact
When talking about Bob, there were several character traits that came to the forefront again and again no matter who was talking. Family was mentioned often, as Bob valued his family above all else, yet treated and accepted many who were not related by blood as members of his family. This included neighbors and those he showed with. “Dad was all about family,” Carol said, “Because, c’mon, family, farming, and faiththey go together.” Elaine Duncan, who was also very involved with the fair as well as being a neighbor recalled, “Anytime we needed help, Bob was there.”
Integrity was another adjective used to describe Bob; a “straight shooter” and honest in his opinions, Bob was honest when selling his own cows, as well as when asked his opinion on a topic. And while there were times his honesty didn’t win him any favors, “You always knew where you stood with Bob,” Duncan said. There is an intrinsic value to that level of honesty, even when a person may not agree with the specific opinion, and a value to the person able to offer an opinion that may not be met with unanimous approval.
Perhaps more than anything, it is Bob’s generosity with his time and talents that is remembered the most. He willingly gave of himself and his time, answering questions, supporting the youth programs and the farm and fair programs whenever, and however he could. Donovan recalled a time when the high seller in the club sale was consigned by a club member; Bob donated the selectors’ commission to the Junior Holstein Club, reasoning that he hadn’t really done anything so he didn’t deserve the commission. When Bob passed in 2004, donations given in his name were used to create a perpetual fund that was not to be touched; the interest every year is used to sponsor the 4-H Supreme Champion award at the fair, presented in his name by a member of his family. This award should be able to continue as long as there is a 4-H show, without needing more funds contributed.
In 2007, Bob was awarded the Pennsylvania Holstein Association Pioneer Memorial Award, given posthumously to recognize an individual, not already in the Hall of Fame, for their contributions to the Holstein industry at the local, state and national level. This award is selected by a committee and given to one person per year. Bob certainly gave of himself to the people, community, and industry he cared about. “That’s why he did the things he did,” said Carol, “he was passionate; and it all started with the cow, the Holstein cow.” “Bob was a bright spot in our lives,” Donovan said, “We really loved both Bob and Barb.”
but he is. He didn’t live thinking about how people would remember him; he lived to make things better for others who shared his passion. He got involved at the local level to make improvements he saw needed to be made for the betterment of everyone. When the opportunity arose to serve at the state level, he carried that same passion with him. He was a friend and neighbor to many, driven to make a difference with the time given him. He had no idea how many his life would impact, or continue to impact years after his passing. One life, with one dedicated and supportive life partner, in one county in the corner of the state, has sent ripples through time and across lives: that is a legacy worth leaving.u

Our Award Winning 4-H Dairy Judging Team
The Pennsylvania 4-H dairy judging team brought home the top honors from the 100th National 4-H Dairy Cattle Judging Contest at World Dairy Expo, held Oct. 2 in Madison, Wisconsin. The team members, Morgan Smoker (Mifflin), Sara Haag (Berks), Madelynn Hoffman (Lancaster) and Ellie Curtis (Warren) competed against teams from 20 other states. These ladies earned their spot on the team by being the top four individuals at the State Days competition held during the summer. All four team members ranked in the top 25 for individual placings at Madison (the “All-American Club”). The contest consists of placing one heifer and one cow class of Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, and Jersey breeds. After the placings are submitted ringside, there is a break for lunch followed by the preparation and presentation of the individuals oral reasons for five of their class placings to the judges. Sara placed first overall, first in Ayrshires, and fourth for Guernseys and oral reasons, Madelynn followed in second for overall placing, fifth in oral reasons and sixth in Holsteins. Morgan placed sixth overall and eighth in Brown Swiss, and Ellie placed twenty-second overall and fourth for Ayrshires. The team was first in Jerseys and second in oral reasons, Brown Swiss and Guernseys, third for Ayrshires, and fifth for Holsteins. By winning the competition, the team will represent the United States this summer at the International Dairy Judging Contest in Glasgow, Scotland.
Sara Haag
Hi, my name is Sara Haag. I am the 17-year-old daughter of Michael and Alicia Haag and have one sibling, my 15-year-old brother, Cody. Together we farm Mic-Ali farm, a 7th generation dairy farm in Berks County. I got my first Holstein when I was 2 years old, Ju-Vindale Champion Muffie, and have enjoyed showing Muffies offspring. I have been showing since I could walk and started at national shows when I was 9. I have received various awards including Bred and Owned Honorable Mention All-PA. I started dairy judging at the age of 9 and have enjoyed competing at the Penn State competitions throughout the years. Getting on the Penn State dairy judging team was a great accomplishment! I will forever be humble and grateful to have won the 4-H overall individual contest at Madison, Wisconsin along with my team placing first. Thank you to my coaches and everyone else who has given me judging advice along the way.
Morgan Smoker
Hi, my name is Morgan Smoker. I’m the 16-year-old daughter of Shawn and Danielle Smoker. I have two older sisters, Lauren (20) and Julia (18). We own and operate Hollo Home Farm in Belleville, where we milk 150 registered Holsteins and a few Jerseys. After high school I plan to take over my family’s farm. I started showing dairy when I was 3 years old and started judging at age 9. I’ve always enjoyed going to the Penn State Spring Judging Contest with my teammates from Mifflin County. My favorite thing about judging is evaluating the cows and placing them. I’m so grateful for this experience, getting to go to WDE has always been a dream of mine. I’m so proud of my team and my teammates and I want to thank my coaches and my parents for getting me involved and encouraging me. Lastly, thank you to all of my supporters.

Madelynn Hoffman
My name is Madelynn Hoffman, and I am the eighteen-year-old daughter of Curt and Psuche Hoffman. Our family resides on a small, robotic dairy farm in Lancaster County. I have been involved in dairy judging since I was young. From the start, dairy judging came naturally to me and I enjoyed it. I had several skilled coaches from my county and opportunities to develop my skills. I have come to appreciate dairy judging for teaching me how to analyze cows to develop and improve my show string. I show multiple dairy breeds, compete in dairy bowl competitions, and I am involved in FFA. Currently, I am a freshman at Cornell University studying Animal Science with an emphasis in both the pre-vet and dairy management concentrations. I aspire to go to veterinary school and specialize in genetics or reproduction. I am very honored to have been a part of the 2022 Winning 4-H Dairy Judging Team and grateful for those who have made it possible for me.
Ellie Curtis
My name is Ellie Curtis. I am the 16-year-old daughter of Chris and Maggie Curtis. I live on our small Jersey farm in Warren County with my parents and brother, John. I started 4-H and showing when I was 8. In 2021, I won Grand Champion at my county fair and the Pennsylvania State 4-H Show. In 2022, I won master showman at my fair. When I was younger, I loved sitting with my dad at cow shows and listening to him talk about the cows we were watching; that’s when I started getting interested in judging. When I was around 10 years old, my uncle Rod asked me if I wanted to go to a judging competition in Penn State. I was very excited; it was my first judging competition. Since then, I have gone to the Penn State Spring Judging Contest every year. I competed in the State Days contest for the first time in 2021 and placed fifth. This year I made the team to go to World Dairy Expo for the national contest! It was a great experience and I am thankful for the things I learned from my coach, Dr. Dechow, and for the memories I made with my team. In the future I hope to have a job somewhere in the dairy industry, maybe farming with my brother John. Thank you to everyone who has helped me to achieve this accomplishment; I can’t wait to see what my future holds!

Kyra Yoder has been working in graphic design and applications since high school. In August, Kyra became the proprietor of Stone Valley Prints, where she does graphic design, screen printing, embroidery and vinyl printing. She is married to Marcus Yoder of Heron Run Farm, and they have two daughters.
1.) What got you interested in your craft at the beginning?
In high school I designed a couple t-shirts, flyers, and the musical signage one year. From there, I went to Penn College for Graphic Design. I love designing and it’s very rewarding when the clients love and appreciate the finished product. I can do anything from a simple t-shirt to an entire brand for an individual or
2.) How did you get started?
I was laid off during Covid and started working from home with my Cricut. I designed t-shirts for family and friends, and wedding and baby shower invitations. After two years and a lot of praying, I purchased a screenprinting shop, clients, and equipment when the opportunity arose. I can now continue designing all the things I love, with the resources to do so much with those designs! I can screenprint and embroider on a plethora of items (clothes, bags, blankets, etc) and have a vinyl printer (essentially a very large Cricut), that prints on larger mediums like a normal printer.
Depending on the order size, embroidery normally takes a couple days. Screen printing is an extensive process. First, I make the design, or take a provided design and separate it like a puzzle into the different colors. Then I print ‘film’ of each color. Next, I get a screen ready, cleaned up and with emulsion so I can burn the design on the film into the screen. Next I have to line up all the different colored screens so they fit back together properly. Then I put ink on and push it through onto a shirt. It’s a multiple day process and can take hours just trying to line everything up perfectly to begin screen printing. Turn around time is about 2-3 weeks depending on the size of the job. I try to do a minimum of 12-18 shirts per order, unless I have a screen already made for that order.
3.) What is your connection/history with dairy/ag?
My husband Marcus is a fourth generation farmer, working with his family on Heron Run Farms in Huntingdon. The family knows a lot of farmers, many of whom I have been priveledged to work with on logos, shirts, hats, etc. Through this, I am getting to know my community better and love helping “brand” their farms. They’re helping me in my business, and in return I am helping them become more recognizable.
4.) What keeps you doing this and how can people find you?
I love branding/creating a logo for someone in hopes they’ll have it for a lot of years. I love seeing my work on trucks, shirts, hats, etc. I’m young in the business and very grateful and thankful for everyone who’s taught me and helped me along the way. I create products with the designs of others, but I especially love seeing my own designs come to life on the products I create. I also market shirts I have designed (The ‘Created with Purpose’ sweatshirt if anyone is interested!). Stone Valley Prints on Facebook, via phone 814.500.4180 or email at stonevalleyprints@gmail.com

Friday Night Banquet
We will be recognizing our adult award winners. All awards are due January 1, 2023 to the PHA office. Forms available on the PHA website.
Hallf of Fame
This award is presented annually to a member(s) of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association recognizing an individual or couple for their achievements and contributions to the Holstein Industry as well as involvement and leadership in other agricultural and community activities. This could be an individual(s) that is an accomplished Registered Holstein breeder or has significantly contributed in leadership and involvement to the PA Holstein Association, or both.
Distinguished Young Breeder Award
Awarded to a Pennsylvania and National Holstein Association member between the ages of 21-40 (as of December 31, 2023) who owns or has management responsibilities for a herd of cows (herdsman, partner, or member of an LLC). The herd must be on official DHIA test. The award is to recognize accomplishments of Young Holstein Breeders, encouraging them to establish goals that will aid in their management decisions to achieve higher profitability.
Pioneer Memorial Award
Awarded posthumously to recognize an individual, not already in the Pennsylvania Holstein Association Hall of Fame, for their contributions to the Holstein industry at the local, state and national levels. This award will be selected by the Hall of Fame Committee and awarded to no more than one person per year. Nominations can be made on behalf of former Pennsylvania Holstein members who worked for the improvement of the Holstein breed and its members in Pennsylvania.
Distinguished Supporter Award
The award will be presented annually to recognize an individual or company (not a current dairy farmer/producer) who through their efforts has supported and enhanced the work and goals of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association. An individual must be living at the time of the nomination.

In 1990, my Dad and I formed a partnership until his death in 2005 using the Harlen prefix. At this time, I continued farming on my own using the Glennview prefix. All along, our goal was to breed solid cattle that can last a lifetime. Over these years, we have bred many “good ole” cows that have produced over 200,000 lbs lifetime, with the top two being:
DB&J Holsteins just recently classified; and what a day! 4 new Excellents 8 new VG 2 yr olds

Dairying has been a good lifestyle, but the time has come to close this chapter in life and say goodbye to the “good ole” cows. We have sold the herd to a young energetic couple who enjoys cows, and I believe will continue to breed the “good ole” cows. Dylan Brantner and Jenna Simpson (known as DB&J Holsteins LLC) have purchased the herd and are renting the facilities. The cows didn’t leave they just have a new owner, so keep an eye out for DB&J Holsteins in the future. the herd
