Phillip & Michel Dahnert

Phillip & Michel Dahnert are Hereford cattle breeders in Juneau, WI, in southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. They have been raising Hereford cattle for over a decade and hold membership in the American Hereford Association, with routine health screenings for genetic conditions.

Their herd rotates through well-managed pastures, ensuring animals have a natural diet and space to roam. Calves are socialized from birth and handled daily to foster calm temperaments and easy integration into various farming environments. Visitors mention the consistent conformation and gentle nature of their cattle, and several animals have placed well in regional fair competitions.

The farm’s focus on strong maternal traits and hoof health supports long-term herd vitality. Each animal receives individual attention throughout the growth cycle, with weaning and turnout guided by season and weather. The farm’s low-stress management and limited use of antibiotics reflect their commitment to animal welfare and quality genetics.
