David Kuehl and Barb Schmoock, Pinzgauer breeders in Kewaunee, WI, operate in Kewaunee County and Door Peninsula near Green Bay. They are members of the Pinzgauer Cattle Association, and their herd undergoes routine health screenings for fertility and disease.

Calves graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments, while animals have access to shelter and fresh water year round. The operation emphasizes balanced conformation and maternal traits, and several animals have placed in regional livestock shows. Pastures border woodlands that provide natural shade during summer months, and barns are cleaned daily to maintain hygiene. Many offspring have been noted for gentle disposition and efficient weight gain, reflecting the breeders’ focus on balance between performance and temperament. The herd includes both pedigree and commercial lines, allowing for a diversity of traits suited to varying production goals. They practice manure management and soil conservation to support environmental stewardship.
