We are pleased that Highland Keeper L Nell and Highland Mitch B Sara produced Hall of Fame records of 3,045CY and 3,054CY, respectively, in the second half of the year. Highland Arien H Sara (3,113CY), Highland Lieutenant H Jean (3,120CY) and Highland Lieutenant M Delores (3,091CY) made Honor Roll records for m.e. cheese production.

Highland Farms has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 19,870M, 970F and 692P - a mark that ranks sixth for fat production in the nation among herds with 150-299 cows.

We were delighted to host a bevy of international guests in early July, when Highland Farms was a stop on the post-conference tour of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau conference.

We hope everyone had an enjoyable time. We certainly did. There's no need for a special occasion to plan a visit, though -- our doors are always open! Maine has a lot to offer and the views from our front porch can't be beat.

Derrick Frigot, WJCB Vice President Europe, thanks Jenn Kimball, Libby Bleakney, Allaire Palmer and Jo Chapman for their hospitality. The red barn is the milking parlor and freestalls and the white barn is the calf facility.	Ahh, the lazy days of summer! Pictured are Isle of Jersey delegates, Ricky Leith (left), Frigot (behind column) and James Godrey, WJCB Secretary (second right), along with Peter Ness of Australia and Allaire Palmer.
A picture-perfect postcard of international guests with members of the Pike, Palmer and Bleakney families. The Maine mountains and dreamy sky make for a perfect backdrop.
Cows are always of interest to Jersey breeders. Here the milking string gets a closer look.	Allaire Palmer gives pedigree stats on a member of the Highland Farms herd to Bruce Connelly.
