Planning for Expansion and Growth of Our Dairy Enterprise to Compete in the 21st Century

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explain why the Doornink family of Baldwin, WI, who own a nationally recognized registered Holstein herd of 90 cows averaging 25,000m 900f 780p with a BAA of 106, decided to borrow about $1,000,000 to build a modern, highly efficient 300 cow free stall barn, milking parlor, and feed storage center.
