Andrew & Elizabeth Groves

Andrew & Elizabeth Groves, Hereford cattle breeders in Rio, WI, are in Lafayette County and the driftless region near Madison. They have several years of experience with Hereford cattle, maintain active membership in a national beef cattle association, and ensure each animal undergoes routine veterinary health checks and genetic testing. Their herd grazes on open pastures, where calves are handled from birth to promote calm temperaments and strong social bonds.

The Groves family emphasizes sustainable grazing and rotational pasture management to support soil vitality and animal well-being. Their setup includes weather-sheltered loafing areas and clean water access at all times, reflecting a hands-on approach to daily care. One recent review highlights the gentle nature of their cattle and the transparency of their breeding practices.

With a family history in cattle ranching spanning over three generations on the same land, they blend traditional ranch practices with careful record keeping for consistent herd improvement.
