The Neal and Sharlee Hochstein family of Wynot, Neb., knows how to work together. This family dairy, which goes back four generations to Neal’s great-grandfather — who bought the land in 1894 and milked cows by hand — is now a modern dairy, milking between 120 and 140 cows.
The Hochstein daughters, including Shelby, who is married to Connor Wuebben and lives in nearby Bow Valley; Sonya, who is the family and consumer sciences instructor at Wynot High School; Whitney, who is a freshman at Wayne State College and a Nebraska Dairy Ambassador; and Joslyn, who is an eighth grader at Wynot, all pitch in for the family operation.
