Palmyra Farm is home to Registered Ayrshires and Holsteins in historic western Maryland, just minutes from the Antietam and Gettysburg National Battlefields and Washington DC. It is a great place to vacation and stop for a visit. The farm name is derived from the original deed that has references to the original National Highway that runs a mile from the farm and includes properties that were granted in the early 1700's. Palmyra is a third and fourth generation family farm that was established when William and Mary Shank purchased the property in 1952 and used a herd prefix of Rocky Spring Farm. In 1963 son, Ralph and wife Patricia, purchased the property and initiated the Palmyra name. Today Ralph Jr and wife Terrie and Mary Creek and husband Mike oversee the development of the herd along with their children and grandchildren. The current rolling herd average for the 124 Ayrshires is 20,091 4.0%F 801F 3.2%P 647P and the 72 Holsteins is 24,232 3.6%F 884F 3.1%P 760P. The herd is housed in a freestall facility, milked twice daily and fed a group TMR. Palmyra practices many conservation programs to maximize efficiencies and support good environmental practices and have been recognized by state and local conservation agencies for their efforts. They are very active in community, industry and breed organizations and have strongly supported agriculture youth programs for generations. Palmyra Farm has had over 138 All-American Ayrshire Nominations and over 46 All-American Ayrshires. In 1979 Palmyra had its first Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo and in 2017 they finally repeated this honor with Palmyra Berkely P Ruth-ET who claims 9 of her closest 14 ancestors to be bred by Palmyra. |
