They were always proud of their cows. When they got out I was told it took one phone call and a local university was there the in a couple of days to pick them up. The registration transfer papers for the cows was dated Jan 2 1961.

Things really improved quickly in the 50-70s. But a 14k herd average in the late 50's was something.

You are a Cornell grad... did you have Ed LaDUe? He used to talk about how he and his dad had a 13k herd average, but in that day, it was the best in their county.
Eddy was my adviser. I don't recall the herd average story but he did talk quite a bit about growing up on the farm outside of Canandaigua, NY which is not all that far away from me. A stern but fair man. Eddy's secretary had the unique ability to know when I arrived back on campus to come in and discuss things with Eddy that he felt needed attention. She would call the student residence usually a couple hours after I got back from home. Eddy's reputation as an ag economist got him access to a number of people that he brought in to address the class. This included Barber Conable a politician from Alexander, NY in the western part of NY. I googled Eddy within the last month and he is still around and lives outside of Ithaca.
While I mentioned AI the regional co-op Eastern had a facility just outside of Ithaca where they kept a number of bulls for their program. Never toured it but has been said to be interesting.

A side note as to Eddy. An in-law to Eddy is the Frankish family to the south of Canandaigua. Their family were John Deere dealers in Rushville from around the mid-1920's to the mid-1940's. At one time they had two D's tandemed together. The last I knew they had a 4010 diesel that they got from Turnbull's who were JD dealers in Hall, NY during the 1940's through late 1960's. They brought it to the Steam Pageant grounds for a few shows just a few years ago.
