"Cows for Dylan" update! On July 4, we purchased 2, two-year old Ayrshire heifers for Dylan that will freshen within 60 days. The gentleman that we bought the heifers from is Darrell Leffel from Stratford, WI. Mr. Leffel also gave Dylan 3 young bulls. Now we have great start and an article will appear in the Country Today newspaper. Remember the fund we are starting at RCU, you may send a donation to any RCU office and the money will go for cows, feed, vet expenses and other equipment they may need. The Crabb farm is approved "grade A." Pasturing should not be a problem. This is a great opportunity for folks in our area to help make this deserving young man's dreams come true!! Any ideas to help with the project? Let us know... Please post and/or call Emilio at 715-828.1445

It's great to know there are still young people out there with a love of animals and the farm life. The world would be a better place with more farm kids and 4-H and FFA. I'm a Jersey person myself and if I was still farming, I would have loved to have given Dylan a little Jersey heifer. P. S.: How is Dylan going to feed a herd of 20 cows? Does his farm have their own hay and corn, or is there a special fundraiser to pay for this until he is making more milk money? Let us know if there is a place to donate hay, feed, or money to purchase feed and money for vet bills. I'm wishing Dylan, his family, and his cows a great and healthy future.

We think that Dylan is a sharp young man for for having the foresight to choose a gift that continues to produce. Because of this, we starting 'Cows for Dylan." Stay tuned for more information about this special fund at RCU. We are initiating the fund after speaking Dylan's mom, Lori. We are purchasing one holstein milk cow to get this started. Anyone out there who has a cow or young calf that that they would like to give, Dylan? Our goal for Dylan is a heard of 20 milk cows. LET'S DO IT!! Questions, call Emilio at 828.1445.
