They keep growing and growing and growing: This trio of brothers has grown their herd by over 400 cows in the last 20 years without ever buying one replacement

摘要

INGE officially taking over the family farming operations from their father and uncle in 1989, the Tetreault brothers made taking care of and growing their most valuable asset top priority. That asset is the one that replaces themselves through the cycle of life . . . cows and the heifer calves they give birth to. At the time they purchased the farm, they were milking 110 cows. Nearly two decades later, internal herd growth has brought milk cow numbers to 520. "If it takes a breath, it grows," jokedbrother Don. But a quick review of the Hidden View Farm LLC records shows that statement is no joking matter ... but simply a fact that the Hidden View farm team strives to accomplish each day.
