In July 1955 I decided that I was not going to spend another no pay summer putting up Feed for a bunch of sorry Gurnseys numbering 60 my Dad had in his Herd,so I decided to Join the Marine Corps. I was 17 looking to Sept to become 18,So I opted for their 8 year obligation program of 3 years active,5 years in active Service. By summer 1965 I had my own 360 acres and kept about 40 Holstiens in milk all year. I had a lot of Don Auger[any one remember that Bull from Curtiss Candy Herd?} Breeding and a lot of Wisconsin Foundation Stock,some from Moose Heart Herd too.Smart move,those Holstiens kept us afloat in the low price period of the late 1960's and the Corn blight period of the early 1970's.I was very proud of our Holstiens and even today a Herd of them will catch my eye sooner than a sight of Brittany Speers aunatural would.Sadly Dairy Farming is vertually no more in Northern Illinois.The Jerseys.Gurnseys, Swiss,Short Horn and especially the black and whites of the Holstiens Fresian no more abound in the Country Sides as they did in my Youth,JC
