Arrow Rock Farm

Arrow Rock Farm is a Red Poll cattle breeder in Poynette, Wisconsin, serving Columbia County and the Madison area. Rick Sappington has guided the operation for several years, following breed registry guidelines and conducting regular health screenings to maintain herd quality.

Its cattle graze on managed pastures year-round with an emphasis on low-stress handling and socialization. Red Poll cattle are known for their hardiness, balanced dual-purpose traits and calm temperaments, and Arrow Rock Farm tailors nutrition and turnout schedules to support these qualities. Facilities include roomy barns with comfortable bedding, shaded loafing areas and unrestricted access to clean water throughout the year.

The farm works closely with large animal veterinarians for preventive care and occasionally shares stock at regional livestock exhibitions. Arrow Rock Farm grew from a family passion for heritage breeds, reflecting a gentle approach to animal husbandry. Prospective owners receive personalized guidance on herd integration and long-term care, reflecting the farm’s dedication to animal welfare and sustained breed improvement.
