There are four dairy hards in the community with a total of about eighty-five cows. Two of the herds are mostly purebred animals, Jerseys and Holsteins, respectively, and all use purebred sires. The two purebred herds are members of the Central West Virginia Cow Testing Association. The other herd made the highest individual production of milk and the second highest individual production of butter fat for any member of the association. Both herds were shown at the county fair and won most of the prizes in their respective classes, one herd winning the sweepstakes for the dairy breeds.
Poultry raising is of considerable importance in the community.
A number of flocks are purebred. Culling is generally practiced. Young chicks are generally hatched early, and all farmers feed milk, meat scraps, scratch feed, etc., to their poultry. Beef cattle are of prime importance in the livestock field. Purebred sires are used practically all together.
