About Us

Our story began in 2017 with the founding of Broedlow Farms LLC, but its roots stretch back to 1876, when Brady’s great-great-great-grandfather, August Broedlow, began farming the very land we still steward today in Helenville, Wisconsin. Now six generations strong raising the seventh, we carry forward a legacy built on hard work, respect for the land, and a deep commitment to quality.

At Broedlow Farms, our approach is simple and intentional: grow wholesome crops and raise premium livestock in a sustainable way that preserves these resources for generations to come. We breed, raise, and finish Hereford and Black Hereford cattle with care and precision—ensuring every step of the process reflects our values. By growing nearly all of the feed for our herd, we maintain full control over the nutrition and integrity of what our cattle consume.

We are certified and follow Beef Quality Assurance guidelines and practice responsible husbandry, giving each animal the attention and care it deserves. All of our cattle originated in the USA and therefore all of our meat can be labeled Made in America. Our homegrown premium inputs and ethical practices result in a consistently high-quality cut of beef—honest, flavorful, and raised the right way.

That same commitment to quality and stewardship inspired the creation of Barn 1912 Tallow Company, our line of natural tallow-based skincare and leather care products. Named for the historic barn that anchors our farmstead, Barn 1912 transforms the richness of our farm-raised beef into nourishing, handcrafted goods that honor tradition and celebrate sustainability. Every product is made with intention—using simple, wholesome ingredients that reflect the integrity of our land and livestock.

Together, Broedlow Farms and Barn 1912 represent more than just what we produce—they embody how we live, care, and create. From pasture to product, we’re proud to offer goods that are rooted in heritage and raised with purpose.
