This episode features longtime Holstein enthusiast, Hillside Holsteins breeder, and ice cream entrepreneur Frank Conyngham as he reflects on a lifetime connected to dairy cattle, community service, and devoted support of the Holstein Foundation. From the early days of his family’s historic herd to pioneering on-farm ice cream processing, Frank shares how a love for cows grew into a passion for people, mentoring young leaders, and strengthening local organizations.

The conversation explores the joys and challenges of preserving family legacy, adapting through change, and finding new ways to give back long after the cows leave the barn. Through stories of mentorship, fundraising, and lasting friendships, Frank reminds us that supporting the next generation is more than a responsibility. It is the foundation of a vibrant dairy community and the reason the Holstein Foundation’s mission continues to move the industry forward.
