Brey Family Set to Host State Picnic

The Brey family has their farm looking fantastic and ready to roll for tomorrow's big state picnic! The event starts at 11:00 tomorrow in Sturgeon Bay, with lunch served from noon to 1:30 and a panel discussion at 1:30 p.m.

These Registered Holstein breeders from across the country will share the management strategies that have allowed them to not only survive, but thrive, in our current economy while maintaining focus and pride in their Registered Holsteins.

Jonathan has heavily merchandised his registered Holstein herd at Oakfield Corners Dairy in recent years. The current list of ET calves available from Oakfield Corners numbers more than 400. Jonathan is also a co-owner in his family’s 4,200-cow commercial dairy herd at Lamb Farms, Inc. and serves as a Holstein USA National Director.
