Jeff Townsend with his daughter, Kayla, (right) await the loading of some of their Holsteins as a new hauler is moved into position. Townsend, who farms on Rte. 12 south of Randolph, bought almost a third of the herd, saying, "David and I have worked together over the years. He has great registered Holsteins with good blood lines." (Herald / Bob Eddy)
