MARION, Wis. – What might have sent an average herd of beef cattle into a frenzy was not a problem for Justin and Kendra Seeger’s beef herd. Their cattle remained calm while some 20 visitors walked across Seeger’s snow-covered fields toward the paddock where the herd of cross-bred cattle ate its ration of windrowed forage. The herd was more interested in the new field of forage about to be opened by employee Paul Miller and Claire Seeger, 12, the couple’s daughter. The process of feeding the herd another three-day break of forage took about five minutes in a 30-degree mid-January afternoon.
