Susan M Hanley

Susan M Hanley breeds Hereford cattle in Madison, WI, in Dane County near Milwaukee. She has over 20 years of experience and follows American Hereford Association standards, including regular health screenings, fertility evaluations and genetic testing. She participates in regional livestock shows and state fairs, and her cattle have earned ribbons for structural soundness and temperament.
