Baumgartners Win Highest Honor in Holstein Breeding
Two Sylvester township farmers William C. Baumgartner and Paul Baumgartner earned the Progressive Breeders Registry, the Holstein Friesian association’s top certificate. The Green county duo join 16 Wisconsin breeders and 87 in the U.S. to receive the honor, reflecting decades of selective breeding and high butterfat records. Their herd averages rose from 6,855 pounds to 12,392 pounds per cow, with annual butterfat at 396 pounds, under federal TB-free and Bangs disease controls. The family traces roots to 1848 Swiss settlers, and Paul, educated in Wisconsin, continues farming after a 4-H career and UW coursework.
