New York Dairy Family Focuses on Improving Its Holstein Herd

Brothers Luke and Jason Pullis say their passion for dairy farming starts with the cows themselves.

RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N.Y. (RFD News) — For many dairy producers, success is measured over generations rather than years.

At Roedale Farm in central New York, brothers Luke and Jason Pullis are carrying on that tradition through their work with registered Holsteins.

Holstein USA recently highlighted the farm’s story, showcasing how a focus on genetics, animal care, and stewardship is helping prepare the operation for the future.

The brothers say their passion for dairy farming starts with the cattle and watching each generation of the herd improve over time.
