Owens Jerseys Built Wisconsin’s Largest Herd Since 1944

Harold Owens recalls switching to registered Jerseys in 1944 and building Wisconsin’s largest Jersey herd with Agnes and eight children at Owens Farms Inc. in Frederic. The family runs a 880 acre operation with pasture rotation, loose housing, home grown feed, and DHIA testing, hosting the State Jersey picnic and sustaining a multi-generational dairy business.

Jersey Herd Drives Profit Through Butterfat and Protein

The Owens family builds a dairy business around Jerseys prized for high butterfat and protein rather than sheer volume. Their herd averages climb from early DHIA fat to 9,639 pounds of milk with 5.5 percent fat and 4.1 percent protein. They expanded herd purchases, hosted the state Jersey Picnic, and earned multiple Wisconsin and Minnesota awards, while family members lead herd management, equipment, and breeding.
