CLINTON TWP — History is important to the Goldscheitter family, so is farming.
Goldscheitter Dairy was awarded the 2019 Eagle Bowl in recognition of the family's support and involvement with the Butler Farm Show. The 2020 Butler Farm Show was canceled due to the pandemic.
Goldscheitter Dairy is one of the largest dairy farms in Butler County with a herd of 430 dairy cows, milking 210. The family also farms about 800 acres, including corn and hay. Their milk is shipped to United Dairy.
Goldscheitter Dairy is family owned and operated. Bill and Gerri Goldscheitter have three daughters: Hanna, 21; Hope, 19; and Faith, 16.
Hanna works the farm full time with her parents. She drives the tractors and the forage harvester which the family affectionately calls “The Chopper.”
Hope works two jobs locally and on the farm as needed. Faith is a participant in Butler County Dairy Cub for 4-H.
Faith is planning to go to college and may pursue agriculture or will attend a trade school. She hasn't decided which direction she will take on the farm.
“The girls are fifth generation on the farm,” Gerri said.
