Darryl Polzin

Darryl Polzin and Janet Polzin breed Pinzgauer cattle in Green Bay, WI, in northeast Wisconsin near Appleton. They have been breeding for several years, and their herd is registered with the American Pinzgauer Association.

Each animal undergoes routine health screenings and genetic evaluations to maintain breed standards. The cattle graze on rolling limestone-based pastures with shelter access, and calves are gently handled from birth to develop calm temperaments suited to family operations. The couple follows rotational grazing practices to preserve soil health and promote sustainable forage growth.

The Polzins run their farm from a hillside overlooking the bay, drawing on a family tradition that spans two generations. Local farmers appreciate the consistent muscle structure and quiet disposition of these Pinzgauer, often citing the Polzins’ attention to detail and genuine care for the animals. Their farm hosts occasional educational visits for local youth, fostering awareness of responsible cattle management.
