Paige Jankee

Paige Jankee breeds Chianina cattle in Hixton, WI, within Jackson County and western Wisconsin near Eau Claire. She has dedicated over a decade to raising these gentle giants and holds registration with the American Chianina Association, ensuring her herds undergo comprehensive health screenings and genetic evaluations.

Calves arrive on the family farmstead each spring and remain with their mothers on rotational pastures nourished by native grasses and mineral supplements suited to the climate. Every animal is introduced to low-stress handling through daily interactions, fostering a calm temperament that carries into their adult lives.

The farm follows a sustainable model, integrating cover crops and pasture rest periods that benefit soil health and forage quality. Select breeding stock is chosen for structural soundness and adaptability to local conditions, traits that have earned praise from neighboring farms. Photographs from recent visits reflect the herd’s healthy condition and consistent conformation.
