Plum River Ranch

Plum River Ranch, Hereford cattle in Monroe, WI, is proud to serve Green County and the Driftless Area near Madison. It has been breeding Hereford cattle for more than fifteen years, holds active membership in the American Hereford Association and follows a structured health screening program overseen by local veterinarians.

Its cattle graze on rotational pasture rich in native grasses and are introduced to handling routines early, ensuring calm temperaments and resilience. Calves undergo individual wellness checks and basic conditioning to adapt gently to ranch life before joining the herd. The ranch maintains herd books tracing back multiple generations on the original family homestead, preserving bloodlines that emphasize hardiness.

Feeding practices rely on locally grown hay and a modest mineral supplement tailored to seasonal needs. The operation also emphasizes pasture regeneration and minimal environmental impact as part of its ongoing stewardship.
