Schock’s Mission View Dairy was established in 1956 by Walt and Louise Schock. The dairy is currently being operated as a partnership between Walt and his eldest son Greg and his wife Paula.

The dairy is located in western Montana approximately 8 miles from the small town of St. Ignatius.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that the last post on this site was 2005. I know. Where has the time gone?
Well, here’s a little pictorial update.
The dairy farm is still going strong. We had a set of twins born this year that didn’t exactly match.

Yes, they are in fact siblings!
Walt, the patriarch of the family dairy, still helps out as much as he can.

We are still chopping corn silage to feed the cows through the long Montana winters.

And we still have grizzly bears that frequent the dairy.
These two were spotted April 13, 2015.

We LOVE to have visitors and give a very laid-back tour of the dairy. Please drop us a line if you are in Western Montana. Unfortunately, we can’t promise that you will see the bears… 🙂
A frigid start in life.

Mooo.
Moooo.
These two calves were born on December 6, 2009. The low temperature for that day was 1° F. With the windchill it felt like -5° F when these little guys were born. Emily put them in this warming hutch immediately after they were born to get them warmed-up.
Brrrrrrr!
