Rachel Marie Livestock

Rachel Marie Livestock is a Chianina cattle breeder in Edgar, WI, serving Marathon County and central Wisconsin near Wausau. Rachel Roskopf has raised Chianina cattle for several seasons and follows standards of the American Chianina Association, with regular health screening for each animal. The operation grew from Rachel’s early interest in heritage breeds into a hands-on farm focused on responsible stewardship of pasture and livestock.

Her herd grazes on rolling pastures where low-stress handling and daily interaction help develop calm, curious temperaments. Calves remain with dams in a family-focused setting, benefiting from natural diets and open-air shelters. A mindful approach to rotational grazing supports soil health and diverse forage, reflecting a farm philosophy centered on balance. Consistent breeding goals emphasize sound structure and predictable temperaments that appeal to small-scale and family producers alike. Biosecurity protocols and pasture rotation help maintain herd health through seasonal changes and reduce disease risk.
