Expo’s Founding Fathers - Remembering Allen Hetts

Remembering Expo's Founding Fathers

At 18 years of age, Allen Hetts took over the reins at Crescent Beauty Farm when his father passed away at the age of 42. Described by his sons, Roy and Rodney, as a driver,  Allen built upon the foundation his father and grandfather laid with the Registered Holstein herd in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, becoming a highly respected breeder, judge and ambassador of the dairy industry on an international scale. This episode of The Dairy Show explores the history of Crescent Beauty and the network of friendships and partnerships that resulted in Allen Hetts laying the groundwork for World Dairy Expo. Roy and Rodney Hetts share stories about their father, mother Doris, Gene Acres Felicia May Fury and how the torch was passed in the Hetts family from one generation to the next.
