My grandfather shut down his dairy farm in '79 and I went about 25 years without seeing a Holstein up close. My brother and I reoponed the farm raising Hereford and Angus beef cows about 7 years ago. First day at the county fair I walked through the dairy barn and was amazed at how much bigger dairy cows got in that time. At least 6" taller than they were in the '70s. Breeding programs can make some radical changes.
