I was raised on a farm at Ottawa ILL. The Farm's name was "Ottawa Guernsey Farm-Home of Dayton Dairy" I knew of other Breeds besides Guernsey but our world revolved around these light orange and white,gentle Creatures.The Owners of the Farm operated a Grade A whole milk processing plant on the Farm and delivered Milk to the surrounding area. They purchased Milk from our Farm and many others so there were some Friesiens and Jersey's and Shorthorn milk mixed with the Creamy Guernsey Milk. I remember one Farm had Dutch Belted Cattle but they were a Grade "B" operation so the Belted Milk went to the local Cheese Plant. Sadly or not that era is gone along with Barns and Silos and Fences.Every Town is surrounded by Houseing Tracts now and what is being Farmed is done by Corporate Operators who grow practically nothing but Corn and Soybeans with a lot of Corn being funneled into the thirsty tank of some ones
Auto. I miss the "Old Days" but life goes on so here we are! Any YT Cruisers from the Ottawa area who remember the 40's to the 70's there?
