Howling Oaks Normandes

Howling Oaks Normandes raises Normande cattle in Arpin, Wisconsin, a rural community in Wood County in the heart of central Wisconsin, roughly an hour northwest of Wausau. The operation is run by Rhonda Treml-Knebel, who first encountered the breed at a World Dairy Expo grazing exhibit and became one of its most dedicated advocates in the state.

The farm maintains a working herd of milking Normandes alongside youngstock and bulls, with a focus on marketing genetics to buyers across the country. Treml-Knebel has sold cattle and embryos to producers in numerous states, and the program actively breeds toward the Normande's dual-purpose strengths — milking animals whose cull cows and bull calves return beef-quality prices rather than the lower figures typical of dairy culls.

Those looking for Normande cattle for sale in Wisconsin will find that Howling Oaks is among the region's most established sources of registered stock. Treml-Knebel helped found the U.S. Normande Breeders Organization and has served in a leadership role with the North American Normande Association, bringing a registry-level depth of knowledge to the breeding program. The farm's animals have been shown at national Normande events, including a reserve champion finish at a North American Normande Association national show.
