Oakwood Farms

Oakwood Farms Shorthorn cattle in Grand Marsh, Wisconsin, Adams County and central Wisconsin near Madison. They maintain detailed breeding records tracing performance traits across generations and follow industry standards for animal welfare and genetic health, with routine hoof care and vaccinations integrated into daily husbandry.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures surrounded by mature oaks and native grasses, with calves remaining with their dams until weaning to promote natural development and social bonding. Oakwood Farms emphasizes sustainable pasturing through cover crop rotations in off-seasons and careful selection for strong maternal instincts and balanced growth. On-site observations of the herd’s behavior and living conditions provide clear insight into these care standards.

Consistent calving seasons and personalized guidance have earned the Colbys longterm partnerships with neighboring livestock producers and a reputation for reliable calf quality. The family’s commitment to rotational grazing and genetic stewardship has shaped a thriving herd over multiple generations.
