Apple Ridge Farm

Apple Ridge Farm raises Hereford cattle in Soldiers Grove, WI, Crawford County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. The farm has maintained Hereford bloodlines for several years and follows breed association guidelines for health testing and record keeping.

All cattle are registered with recognized stud books, and breeding decisions emphasize temperament and longevity. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive regular veterinary care to support herd wellness. Calves are socialized from an early age, which helps them adjust smoothly to new environments and farm routines.

Over the years, some of their bull calves have earned ribbons at regional livestock exhibitions. Apple Ridge Farm operates from a century-old homestead that blends traditional practices with modern feeding and sheltering methods. Family members participate in daily chores year-round and follow strict biosecurity measures to maintain a close-knit environment that benefits the herd and protects local waterways from runoff.
