News from Clarissa's Past
25 Years Ago
July 10, 1996
Pat Lunemann and Jeff Hauer are building a new barn. While this fact in and of itself is not a big deal, the fact that the barn will house 400 cows is a big deal. The free-stall barn will be 112’x268’ and the milking parlor, milk house and offices will measure 64’x130’. The barn is currently in the construction stage, but Lunemann and Hauer hope they will be able to have an open house tour of the facility by late summer.
