HistoryLocated in South Central Wisconsin, in the rolling hills just outside of New Glarus the Ruegsegger Farm has been in their family since 1958 when Ken's father Albert, who farmed it as a dairy, pork, and egg business purchased it. Ken has operated the farm since 1980. Initially specializing in dairy Ken received numerous quality and quantity awards. Diversification started when he butchered a steer, and sold two quarters to friends, next it was a pig, then eggs, and before long the Dairy herd was sold. Now the Ruegseggers – Ken and his wife Sherrie, are raising and direct marketing their quality products.Today, the Ruegsegger family raises their livestock as Ken learned from his father, with patience. Because there are no hormones or antibiotics used, the animals are healthier, but take a little longer to mature. Conversely commercial beef are implanted with hormones regularly, and fed antibiotics every day to keep them alive and growing fast while living on concrete in a confined feedlot. On the other hand The Ruegseggers' cattle are pastured up until the day they are slaughtered, living as "naturally" as possible. |
