This new kiosk location is one of more than 70 locations across the state.

Congratulations to the Miller’s Jerseys, Beverly (Dick), Ryan, Rhea and Brycen Miller for their championship at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI. On Monday, September 29, Rhea Miller (pictured) showed their heifer “Majesty” earning first place Jersey Spring Yearling and Reserve Junior Champion for both open and junior shows. Earlier this summer at the Indiana State Fair, Majesty earned Junior Champion followed by Supreme Junior Champion at Kentucky State Fair. The Miller’s also received Best Bred and Owned Jersey Heifer, meaning they raised the yearling themselves and didn’t purchase her for showing.
