The Peterborough County Federation of Agriculture and the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce have announced the Stockdale family, of 2525 Asphodel 4th Line Asphodel-Norwood, as the 2017 Farm Family of the Year.
David and Cathy Stockdale have been farming for 26 years, and Embrdale Farm is home to 145 head of cattle and of this 65 make up the milking herd. They have a very impressive herd classification they have worked hard to achieve and maintain: 10 Excellent, 49 Very Good, and 16 Good Plus.
This past April, they were thrilled to have won their second Master Breeder Shield. This recognition illustrates the progress they have made with their breeding and management programs and serves as proof that they are on the right track.
