Yes. Albert “Big Daddy”. Rolfe was my grand father .My mother was Helen Rolfe.Growing up I spent numerous weekends at “the farm”.
It was a wonderful place
Shared it with at least 20 cousins. Uncles and there families.
The “big” event was always. “The Sale”
Once a year Spring Valley would hold An auction of my grand father’s award winning herd. White face polled Hereford. 13 national champions. Started the domino line

Grandson of Albert Rolfe

Hello Dennis,
This is a great story. Is the farm still in your family today? Is it still an active cattle farm?
