Lyonden Farm
I grew up on a little farm outside of Rockford with my sisters, Erin and Emily; brother, Matt; and parents, Brian and Lori. We have a small herd of Registered Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Red and White Dairy Cattle. We raise the heifers from a few days of age until a couple weeks before calving, and our milking herd is farmed out to some great friends. I currently own four cows and six heifers.
