Littrel is a third-generation dairy farmer who took over the 600-acre family dairy farm from her grandfather. He started dairy farming in 1953.
Today, Littrel – along with her husband Scot and son Derek – mange the care, feeding and milking of some 200 Holstein and Brown Swiss dairy cows.
Her Yoke’s visit is part of Meet Your Local Dairy, a project of the Dairy Farmers of Washington.
Inland Northwest Dairy Ambassador Ashley Rochlitzer is also slated to attend the event and hand out free containers of chocolate milk.
