Delivering the highest quality dairy products since 1946 MENU Our Family What makes a “family farm?” Big is bad doesn’t get any better! At Pagel’s Ponderosa, farming is generational family affair! Despite our size, we are undeniably a family farm, as family is at the core of everything we are and everything we stand for. Alongside the three generations of Pagels, two additional families have worked on the Ponderosa for more than 10 years. Both are third-generation farm families, just like the Pagels, and all three of those generations from both families continue to work on the Ponderosa! John also treats every one of Pagel’s 100+ employees as family, and his passion for farming is contagious! With the trust and hard work of its employees, the Pagels team continues to set records in herd production. Copyright 2021 © Pagels Ponderosa Dairy, All rights reserved.

Delivering the highest quality dairy products since 1946 MENU “Cows are a voluntary animal. The better you take care of them, the better they take care of you. Healthy and happy cows produce the best milk!” – John Pagel At Pagel’s Ponderosa, we take care of our cows, and our cows take care of us! By caring for our animals with compassion and respect, we’re rewarded with happier cows that produce higher-quality milk, which we turn into the finest cheeses. Our farm strives to ensure our 5,000+ cows receive the best comfort, healthcare and quality of life. Shelter, Food, & Rotary Milking The cows’ six free-stall barns were designed for comfort. The herd is given 500,000 square feet of living space, and each cow has ample room to lay down in a soft bedding made from dried bio solids. Learn More Health & Safety At Pagel’s Ponderosa, cows are monitored 24/7 and receive weekly herd checks. During the herd checks, farm staff evaluates milk production, safety and cleanliness of the surroundings, and the potential for sickness. Additionally, EVERY Pagel’s employee is trained on animal care and handling. Learn More Cow Comfort Knowing that stress can affect the taste and quality of a cow’s milk, cow comfort is a top priority at Pagel’s Ponderosa. This is addressed through: Learn More Calves Our dairy success starts with the cow—special care is given as soon as each calf is born. Our maternity ward is dedicated to expectant mothers, and newborns are moved to soft bedding in a warm, temperature-controlled calf barn. In the wintertime, they are even given special calf jackets!
