Hidden Spring Ranch

Hidden Spring Ranch, Hereford cattle, Rio, WI, in the Driftless Area near La Crosse. The ranch is run by a family with over a decade of experience following standards set by the National Hereford Association. Each animal undergoes routine health checks and genetic screening before breeding. Calves are born in open pasture with around-the-clock access to shade and clean water, and they spend their first weeks in close contact with handlers for early socialization.

The operation emphasizes maternal traits and gentle disposition, selecting breeders for longevity and ease of care. They maintain detailed records of lineage and performance for every head in the herd. Cattle from the ranch have appeared at county fairs and regional showcases, reflecting sound structure and temperament. Herd rotations are managed to improve soil health and forage quality on rolling pastureland, and local buyers praise consistency across generations.
