Pearl Franke

Pearl Franke breeds pinzgauer cattle in Yuba, WI, Monroe County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. She has been raising pinzgauer cattle for over a decade, registering each animal with national breed associations and arranging routine health screenings for genetic soundness.

Her herd grazes rotationally on mixed grass pastures, supplemented with hay and mineral blends tailored to cattle performance. Calves receive daily handling from birth, promoting a gentle nature and easing the transition to new homes. The Franke family has managed this sixth-generation farm since the 1920s, guiding livestock stewardship with a focus on low-stress handling. Buyers note clear communication on pricing and availability as well as the calm temperament and uniform build of the cattle.

Each animal is DNA tested for parentage and disease markers, ensuring a healthy foundation for breeding or beef operations. Availability aligns with seasonal calving schedules, and cattle are offered in groups sorted by age and disposition.
