Larry Vyvey was born in 1939 into one of the earliest pioneering families of the Platte Valley, the Verplancke-Vyvey dynasty. Larry learned early from his father, mother, uncles, aunts, and grandparents that earning one’s way in the world just takes hard work and he had plenty of people to emulate. Larry eventually developed an interest in dairy cows, from his father.
