Drew Schomberg

Drew Schomberg is a Hereford cattle breeder in West Salem, WI, in La Crosse County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. For fifteen years he has refined bloodlines through membership in the American Hereford Association and regular genetic and herd health screenings that support balanced growth and fertility. His cattle graze a mix of native grasses and alfalfa on rotational pasture, with shelter in a century-old timber frame barn that encourages a calm, familiar environment.

Calves receive daily handling soon after birth and are socialized with different handlers to build confidence and ease routine care. Feed efficiency and maternal performance data are recorded for each cow, providing a transparent look at long-term herd development guided by time-honored farm practices. Visitors often note the steady temperament of his herd and the even growth curves that reflect his patient, observation-based approach to cattle breeding. He also supports local youth agricultural programs by offering farm tours and sharing insights at county fairs.
