Dingle Late September 2008


Last Sunday, September 28 was one of our most beautiful days - cold but bright and sunny. It was also a lovely day for us, as we made a quick trip to Dingle.

I think your "oreo cows" are Dutch Belted Cattle. Cecil Feemster (father of Austin who owned Feemster Chevrolet in Siloam Springs for many years) saw them at a Ringling Circus in Kansas City and had 4 of them shipped to his farm near Gentry in about 1900. He and his son Kleo raised them and Kleo had a herd of about 200 by 1978. I don't know what happened to them after that. Austin said that these cattle produced more milk and butter than Jersey cows, so they were quite desirable for dairy herds.
