Dairy facilities in
the early 1960's. The loafing barn to the right blew down
in a storm and the cows had to be cut out from between the
rafters. |
| Four
silos were constructed in early 1960 in anticipation of a new
dairy complex being built at this site. For several
reasons the parlor was built about a half a mile away and these
silos were only used for a few years. |
