Statement of Site History: <br /> This site has been operated as a dairy cow raising and milking facility for over 50 years. The Lima <br /> family purchased the land in 1938. The operation began as a 40-cow dairy with the original milk barn. <br /> The current milk parlor was built in 1968 and has been remodeled twice to modernize. Neighboring <br /> properties were purchased to raise feed and improve manure and pond water management. The cattle <br /> facilities have been improved over the years. Freestall barns to house 900 cows were built from 1972- <br /> 1974. Additional freestall barns were built to house 600 cows between 1996-1997. <br /> Parcel# Acres Farmed Acres <br /> 55-130-01 76.49 30.74 <br /> 55-130-02 44.92 40.43 <br /> 55-140-04 19.95 17.96 <br /> 55-140-05 23.20 20.88 <br /> 55-160-08 5.0 4.50 <br /> 55-160-59 15.0 13.50 <br /> 55-160-62 54.32 48.89 <br /> 55-140-08 10.10 9.09 <br /> 55-140-07 24.23 6.84 <br /> 55-140-09 30.31 27.28 <br /> 55-140-10 15.25 13.73 <br /> 55-130-03 147.51 132.76 <br /> 55-130-07 34.00 30.6 <br /> TOTALS: 500.28 397.2 <br /> Current Cow Population <br /> Lactating- 1,375 <br /> Dry- 224 <br /> Bred- 726 <br /> 1 year-Bred- 242 <br /> 3-12 mos.- 726 <br /> 0-3 mos.- 242 <br /> 4 <br /> Western Design/David Avila 2001 <br />
