Alyssa Ottum

Alyssa Ottum, a small, family-run Hereford cattle breeder in Kendall, WI, is located in the Driftless Area near Madison. She has spent years breeding Hereford cattle with attention to health screenings and adherence to national registry guidelines. Calves are raised on lush pasture and receive daily social interaction in a small family-focused setting.

Her approach emphasizes gentle handling and balanced nutrition, with routine veterinary care and hoof trimming to support lifelong well-being. Livestock are registered through the American Hereford Association to ensure traceable pedigrees. Rotational grazing practices help maintain soil health and pasture diversity across rolling hills. One long-time customer mentions the consistent calm temperament and strong structure of her stock, qualities that make the herd well suited for both grass-based operations and small-scale family farms. Alyssa draws on a passion for sustainable agriculture to nurture each animal from birth.
