Rebecca Jeppesen

Rebecca Jeppesen raises Hereford cattle in Rib Lake, WI, in north-central Wisconsin near Wausau. With roots in regional farm tradition, she has been breeding these cattle for several years, adhering to American Hereford Association guidelines and conducting regular health testing for calving ease, vaccinations, and genetic traits. Her herd grazes on rotational pastures bordered by wooded windbreaks and uses shelter barns and straw bedding in colder months to ensure comfort.

The farm emphasizes low-stress handling and daily socialization, with calves spending afternoons in group paddocks before returning to the main herd for overnight rest. Feed includes diverse on-site forages supplemented with balanced minerals and grains formulated to support steady weight gain and structural development. Sustainable grazing practices protect soil health, encourage pasture biodiversity, and reduce hauling for winter feed. Rebecca applies a family-operated approach that has grown from her parents’ original homestead, reflecting a deep respect for animal welfare and breeding consistency.
