Humans of All West: Dennis & Kirsten Areias
We started dairying in 1980 on our own. We bought some cows and we had some purebreds. My dad had retired and we rented the home place for just short of two years.

Happy Halloween!
There may not be much trick-or-treating taking place this year, but pumpkin decorating is a great at-home activity. Megan Christiansen of Meadowood Dairy in Oregon shared her 11-year-old daughter’s impressive pumpkin painting! She had fun painting and even showed it off to our All West Sales Representative, Matt Jansen! This pumpkin was chosen as the winner of our All West Pumpkin Contest and the artist will be receiving a limited-edition All West cap. Below is a photo of the “Honorable Mention” of our contest! Caydee Weese of Turlock, CA painted her favorite sire, MOGUL, on this pumpkin! All West/Select Sires wishes you a fun and safe Halloween!
