Holstein cattle have been part of the DeWall family farm for a long, long time.
Only now rather than milking Holsteins, Dan and Carlton (Carl) DeWall are raising them for meat.
The father/son combination not only farm and raise cattle together, they are in a business partnership as well. The DeWalls recently relocated their financial planning business from Fort Dodge to Gilmore City.
“We’ve had dairy for a long time,” Dan DeWall said. “The bloodlines date back to my grandfather’s time.”
