Our 10th featured futurity exhibitor is Jacob Pintens from Hillsdale, WI. Jacob is exhibiting Indianhead Holsteins second entry at the futurity show this year. He will be a sophomore at UW-River Falls this fall and he is studying in the area of Agriculture. Indianhead's dairy farm is located in the center of 1,200 acres with 900 actual crop acres. They market snap beans, corn, rye, soybeans, and hay besides feeding the resident herd. Indianhead also has a wood shaving business where they deliver over 1,400 semi loads of wood by-products to dairy and poultry farmers in a given year. They also supply wood chips for fuel. We are excited to have Jacob and Indianhead Holsteins exhibit at this years futurity show!
