Western Dairy was one of the oldest dairies in St Joseph
Hannafin & Fenner were partners in the beginning
It was owned & operated for many years by George & Augie Fenner and numerous other members of the Fenner family
The dairy was a member of the Quality Chekd organization
Their dairy products were trade named Justrite Quality Chekd
The dairy was sold to Highland Dairy in Springfield Missouri
The dairy was later obtained by Hiland dairy in Iowa
The Fenners continued running the dairy
The retail home delivery ceased operation in the late 1970's
All St Joseph dairy operations totally ceased as all products were being trucked in from Iowa
The St Joseph dairy building remained unused except for the large cooler
Hiland Dairy eventually razed the dairy & office building
The huge cooler and garage remained for many years thereafter
Hiland Dairy finally razed the huge cooler, the garage remains intact
It is currently one huge empty lot in which Quality Chekd trailers are parked
