The New York Holstein Picnic was held Saturday at Wormont Dairy in Cassville, NY. Hosts Chuck & Vanessa Worden and Family were gracious hosts of the annual event. The large crowd enjoyed a delicious meal of pork barbecue and ribs topped off with ice cream handed out by the NY State Dairy Princess and her court. There was volleyball and face painting for the kids, while adults enjoyed viewing the new facilities and catching up with friends from around the state.

Randy & Lynette Inman of Mar-Bil Farm, now in Virginia, came back to NY to visit with old friends, like Greg & Debbie Coyne.

Face painting was just one of the activities Juniors could participate in!

Holstein USA’s Tom Lawlor spoke about genomic testing of Holstein cattle.
