Melissa Berggren

Melissa Berggren breeds Hereford cattle in Juneau, WI, in Dodge County and Southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. She is a member of the American Hereford Association and ensures all cattle undergo routine health testing, parasite screenings, and annual veterinary inspections. Calves are handled daily and raised on rotational pasture with year-round access to shelter, clean water, and mineral supplements. Melissa selects breeding stock based on structural soundness and maternal traits to promote a balanced and resilient herd.

Each animal receives individual attention for growth and temperament through low-stress handling, daily health checks, and grass-fed feeding protocols. Pasture quality is monitored seasonally to support optimal nutrition and trace mineral balance, and supplemental hay is provided in winter months. Offspring are evaluated for consistent lineage and adaptability to local climate. Herd size is kept modest to maintain close observation of health and development.
