Holstein dairy cattle owned by Hern Farms Ltd. of Usborne township are among the top herds in Huron county. The family partnership of Harry and Bob Hern was established in 1971 although both brothers have been involved in producing milk for many years. Harry said, "The farm on which I now live and was formerly my father's has been producing milk for sale since 1928." The milking cows usually about 65 at one given time are housed on the Harry Hern farm while the calves, heifers and dry cows are kept at Bob's farm. In attaining the recognition as top producers, the Bern herd has received the Certificate of Gold Seal Quality for two years and they have had the honour of the top producing cow and the runnerup with BCA's of 217 and 210, respectively. Bob Hern explained these top performances Saying, "These high producing cows were bred to Starlite and Maple Joe." The Hern's breeding procedures are a little dif- ferent than for most dairy herds, Bob explained, "We breed our first calf heifers to a beef bull, usually a Polled type. The reason is calving is easier and we have less problems." The first calves from all heifers on the first lactation are raised and fed for market while after that the bulls are marketed while all heifers are kept for replacement stock. Bob Hern added, "We haven't bought a female in 15 years." All milk from the Hern farms is sold under the provincial quota system with two divisiions, They are the Group 1 Quota Pool and the Market Share Quota, The 1979 production was 1,200,000 pounds of milk. They have a present production herd average of 16,500 pounds. Harry Hern said the dairy herd is now completely brucellosis free. All breeding is done artificially. The milk is picked up every second day. Until that time it is stored in a stainless steel tank with a capacity of 800 gallons. The present production is about 3,500 pounds per day. Despite the increase in milk and other prices, Bob Hern maintains, "Milk is still the cheapest all-round food you can buy." • Both Hern brothers and their families are faithful supporters of Zion United Church. Bob Hern became a 4-H calf club member in 1946 and has continued in helping farm youngsters since that time. He was president of the Huron 4-H Leaders Association in 1977 and last year was one of five Ontario 4-H leaders to be selected to attend the first National 4-H leaders conference. Before forming the part- nership with Harry, Bob spent seven years as manager of the Jarvis Hereford Farms. He is currently vice-president of the Exeter Agricultural Society.
