Huth Polled Herefords in Oakfield, Wisconsin is owned by Jerry Huth and Josh Scharf. Through grazing management practices, the cattle help improve the local grasslands by stimulating the soil with their hoofs and maximizing photosynthesis by grazing on grass. This grazing also helps offset greenhouse gas emissions by keeping the land in growing pasture for carbon to be stored in plant roots and the soil. Huth Polled Herefords works with local agencies like the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to ensure their practices align with public land goals to help support local wildlife, plant life, and maintain natural habitats. For their sustainability efforts, the JY Ferry & Son Ranch was awarded the Wisconsin Environmental Stewardship Award (ESAP).
"Our families take great pride in knowing that we are providing a high-quality protein in the most sustainable way possible." - Jerry Huth
Meet Wisconsin beef farmers, Jim and Sarah Peterson of Kewaskum, Wisconsin. Jim and his daughter Sarah own and operate Hillside Farm where they work together to manage their family farm.

They are committed to sustainable farming and regularly incorporate by-products from the local ethanol plant in their cattle feed.
