Major Dairy
Today we left Opryland for the Major Dairy, near Lebanon, operated by Roy and Diane Majors and sons Seth, Jared, and Josh. Again, much hard work and preparation was undertaken in getting ready for the tour. We saw some beautiful Durhams, and the Majors are milking 15 daughters. We also saw several animals featured in their ads including the VG-85 Chairman Tina, a daughter of BW Marsh Tomara, that was one of the high sellers in the High Profile sale at Madison a few years ago and went to Regancrest. We saw the EX-91 Emory that is from KED Mark Justine. She has been a real brood cow for the Major family and standing beside her was her VG-87 Stormatic daughter that was one of three VG full sisters. Again, real southern hospitality was shown as we were given a tour of the 1860”’’s era dwelling that the Majors renovated and raised their family in, and which they love. It was another example of historical pride and preservation in Tennessee, but it wasn””t over yet. The Wilson County fairgrounds was the site for a great catered lunch. This facility includes a famous pioneer village restoration called Fiddler”’’s Grove. Log cabins, the law office of Sam Houston and many other historical buildings that have been or are being restored dot the landscape.
After another wonderful day on the pre-convention tour, it was time to head to Knoxville where the “real deal” begins tomorrow. Join us at www.holsteinworld.com for continuous updates and information as events happen!
