Kipp is workin 'til the cows come home

Kipp was working at not one, but TWO farms when he was just a sophomore in high school. Sticking to the County Line Dairy in the evenings, he found a new farm, the Wurst Farm, to wake up to every morning.

At the Wurst Farm he was in charge of 50 cows in tie-stalls. (and if you are keeping tabs this early in the story, that is 2 farms, over 100 cows, everyday, for a sophomore in high school….)
While at this farm, Kipp did all of the morning chores alone BEFORE school.

Hard Worker = Kipp Hinz

If anybody loves the dairy industry, it would have to be Kipp Hinz.

From Osceola Wisconsin, this hard working student has more on his mind than college-life activities…

Kipp is attending school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences in the Farm and Industry Short Course specializing in Dairy Herd Management.

He started working on the County Line Dairy Farm while in the 6th grade, a farm comprised of 60 cows in tie-stalls. He started at a very young ag… Continue

Willet Dairy

I had the opportunity to visit Willet Dairy yesterday. Willet Dairy was attacked by the media and animal rights groups in the last week. They were part of the reason I started my group on Facebook, which by the way is over 13,000 members, but back to Willet and the impression I received during my visit.

First I want to say that Willet dairy was clean, which as dairy folks know can be 3/4 of the battle. The cattle all looked as clean or cleaner than expected here in Upstate, NY in February. I st… Continue

I can believe that Willet dairy was basically ambushed with this video. The animal rights people have an agenda to end all animal agriculture. They will do whatever necessary to try and turn the public against us. That video is the reason why I join…
