Wall Street Dairy is home to our Holsteins carrying the registered "The-Street" prefix, and to our Guernseys, Milking Shorthorns, Jerseys, Ayrshires and Brown Swiss carrying the registered "Wall-Street" prefix. While the Holsteins and Guernseys comprise the majority of the nearly 300 head we have on the farm, we have also been selectively adding top representatives of the high component breeds based on exemplary bloodlines and outstanding genetic potential.

Our big news so far in 2010 is the acquisition of the renowned and respected Spring-Fed Holsteins from Nelson and Susie Hector, Swan Lake, NY. We will be forever indebted to this fine family for entrusting their entire herd to Wall Street Dairy. Spring-Fed Holsteins have been the foundation of our Holstein herd since beginning our dairy operation nearly 3 years ago. We are confident that the addition of these tremendous animals will take us to the next level.

Our Holsteins were most recently classified in July 2009 and we are very pleased and proud that our BAA increased from 105% to 107%. Our Guernseys were scored in March 2009, and we now have three Excellent and 12 Very Good cows on the farm. Our cow "Zoey" being raised to EX-93 and our two oldest cows on the farm at nearly age 10 each, Salinda, received a permanent score of 92 and Deary received a permanent score of 90. We were thrilled to say the least! We flushed Salinda recently and received 16 # 1 embryos.

Wall Street Dairy is owned by Jeff Winton and Jim Modica, and Jeff's brother Scott oversees many important aspects of the operation including the diligent grooming of the animals, assistance with registrations and identification, etc. Scott's attention to detail and concern for the welfare and well-being of the animals is greatly appreciated. He also co-owns several of the animals at Wall Street Dairy and enjoys showing them at various competitions. The home Holstein herd on Wall Street, Wall Street #1, is managed by Jordan Cook and Brooks Winton. Brooks joined us in September 2009 and is the proud father of year old twins, Brenden and Brooke. Jordan joined us in December 2009 from his family's registered Holstein herd in Lancaster County, PA. As we upgrade the quality of our herd, we are also upgrading the quality of our labor and we are really pleased to have these fine young men running our home farm. Our component breeds herd, Wall Street #2, is capably handled by Adam Kelley and Felicia Winton. Adam joined us in 2008 and is doing an outstanding job. He is especially happy to be caring for the registered Guernseys that were bred and owned by his late grandfather, Lawrence Hooker, Marlindale Farms. We are also confident that he will learn to love the Jerseys as much as we do eventually, even their "fancy dancin'!" Felicia helps milk at another local dairy farm and she also has a special place in her heart for the Guernsey breed after being awarded a Guernsey calf scholarship many years ago as a 4-H member that turned into a nice small herd of registered Guerneys. Our newest location, Wall Street #3, is co-managed by Bruce Walker and Toby Winton. Bruce and his family own the Walker Farms that we are currently leasing and for generations this family bred and competed with their top-notch registered Holsteins at many different levels of competition prior to their dispersal a few years ago. Toby worked for years on the Winton family farm, Arlaine Farms, and he has bred many quality registered Holsteins and Ayrshires that are now also part of the Wall Street herd.

The Winton family has been farming on the home farm in central Chautauqua County for seven generations now. Wall Street Dairy is only 20 minutes away when it isn't snowing, which basically means, in August!

Jeff's Mom Elaine is the glue that keeps the farm and the family together. She is shown here with her granddaughter Emily who loves going to the barn to help with the baby calves.
