The Ammon family farming tradition began five generations ago when Mike's great, great grandfather purchased the original farm along the Juniata River in central Pennsylvania. The historic Three Locks which were part of the Pennsylvania Canal can still be seen on this farm. By the mid-1940's Mike's grandparents purchased an adjoining farm. In the early1960's, Bill and his parents started buying registerd Holsteins and eventually replaced their mixed herd completely. In 2004, Mike married Jill Harnish and she arrived with cows and heifers from her family's Spruce-Edge herd. Both Ammon Farms Orion Dee Dee and Spruce-Edge Jur Ford Bailey trace back to the original Holsteins Mike and Jill's fathers purchased when they switched from colored breeds to Holsteins. Today at Ammon Farms we milk 90 cows which are housed in freestalls. An aggressive cow with good functional type who breeds back easily does particuarly well in our operation, as we don't give a lot of special attention. Accordingly, our breeding program consists of mainly high TPI sires with good health traits and functional type with an occasional extreme type mating. Our herd is fed a TMR of corn silage, haylage, dry hay, cottonseed and grain. We have 325 acres total with 180 acres tillable, 100 acres of woodland and the remainder in pasture. We grow corn and alfalfa. We are very grateful for the land and cattle the Lord has given us. Our desire is to be good stewards of these blessings. We are privileged that our work is something we enjoy so much. You are welcome to visit anytime. |
