Daniel And Ann Jennings

Daniel and Ann Jennings raise Shorthorn cattle in Rio, WI, in Columbia County and the Wisconsin River Valley near Madison. They follow national registry guidelines and conduct routine health testing to support the long-term well-being of their cattle. Breeding goals focus on robust health, steady growth rates and adaptable temperaments to serve both commercial and family herds. Their herd grazes on open pastures, and each animal enjoys daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and social ease.

Calves are introduced to family life at an early age, reflecting the Jennings’ belief that strong bonds lead to healthier, more adaptable animals. They regularly exhibit at county fairs and regional livestock shows to benchmark their cattle against industry standards. The farm’s roots in Midwestern agriculture shape a stewardship approach that balances productivity with animal welfare. Over decades, they have become known among local breeders for cattle with sound structure and consistent size across generations.
