World staffer Frank Putman recently visited Pencroft Holsteins, the home of Paul Neer and family. Read about the stars of this Belleville, PA, herd here!

Pencroft Holsteins sure get it right on cow care. Sandy Thomas, Sandy McCauley and the Ammons, to name a few, already know what a great bovine hotel the Neer’s run, as they all have cows housed at the Belleville, PA, dairy. Roomy, well-bedded stalls and the watchful eye of Paul Neer and herdsperson Carrie Miller, are evident as anyone walks the barn. Miss Classy (Dundee x Blue Top Classy Jethro) has developed nicely since the PA Spring Show and you can see why she wears a new score of VG-88,VG-88-MS, 2y. Members of the New-Vision Rubens Tory (EX-92) family are part of the Pencroft herd. Peachey Lee Tina (EX-90) was dry at the time of my visit, but you can see how that frame and feet and legs would figure well into her score. She is due in August to Kite. Other family members here are Ms Tina Colby Taz-ET RC (VG-88) and Tori’s Paradox Tracy-ET RC (VG-87) have been joined by Peachy Talent Taylor-ET (from the ”07 PA Convention Sale). Taylor has been flushed to Kite, with embryos available and now will be flushed to Advent.

Paul has been working with other club members on next year’’s State Convention and you will, no doubt, enjoy some of the plans that they are formulating that will include a stop at Pencroft with a different twist! (The 2008 PA State Convention will be held Feb. 28-29 through March. 1, 2008 at the Ramada Inn, State College, PA).

Visit the Pencroft site to see some of the cattle they are working with, until you can head up that long drive to enjoy your own visit!
