Kaldenbergs Expand Sheep Cattle Program Near Pella Farm
Willard Kaldenberg develops a diversified livestock plan on his 50 acre farm near Pella. He converts barn space into sheep housing, maintains 150 ewes, and buys purebred Suffolk ewes and a ram to start a breeding flock. He plans lambing in February and markets male lambs as breeding stock. Cattle efforts include 25 cows and replacing older stock with heifers, feeding steers. Willard conserves land by renovating 33 acres to broadleaf trefoil pasture. He notes the farm is near town, with conveniences like television, while the Kaldenbergs enjoy farm life and practical measures such as a tank heater setup for ice-free water.
