Huskies sweep crosstown rivals in playoff preview

By Jesse O’Brien Leader-Telegram staff If Thursday’s intracity softball doubleheader is any indication of what to expect when Eau Claire North and Eau Claire Memorial square off in the regional semifinals next week, the Huskies should be feeling pretty good about their chances.

North swept the Abes, winning 5-0 in the opener and 12-2 in a shortened nightcap that ended following the Huskies’

seven-run explosion in the fifth inning, at Gelein Park in Carson Park.

“The real season starts next week here against Memorial, so we wanted to come in and show them that we have a really solid team and hit well, and I think we accomplished most of our goals,” North coach Perris Cooley said.

The two teams went scoreless through the first five innings in game one, before Huskies shortstop Briquelle

Neyens cranked a two-out, three-run shot over the leftfield fence. Memorial would threaten in the bottom of the inning, but left-fielder Laura Larson was tagged out after getting caught in a pickle in between third and home, killing the Old Abes’ momentum.

Kylea Davis led off the top of the seventh with a triple, scoring on a double from Abbey Long in the next at bat.

They completed four Advanced Placement courses and compiled grade-point averages above 4.0— all from the comfort of their desks in their shared bedroom.

At age 16, they are graduating next week from Wisconsin Virtual Academy and plan to attend Boston University in fall to study engineering.

“This is just a great experience for all of us.”

The right fielder Peterson also made a great diving catch in foul territory to lead off the fifth inning to keep the Rockets hitless. Randolph would finally get to McKaela Ryan two batters later.

“I saw it popped up. I remember thinking dive, but don’t actually remember diving and catching it.

I just remember tumbling on the ground and the ball in my glove,” she said.

Oakfield struck out just once, while eight different players had a hit.

The Oaks swept Randolph — a fellow Trailways North Conference rival — this season by scores of 4-1 on April 11 and 14-0 May 6.

The game got off to a scary start for the Rockets as pitcher Michayla Swanson hit herself in the back of her right leg while delivering a pitch and crumpled to the mound a moment later. She shook it off and continued on, grimacing through pitches the remainder of the first inning.

That first inning was all Oakfield’s offense needed. Maddy Ryan drove in the first two runs on a double to left field, and one out later, a throwing error to third base allowed her to score for a 3-0 lead.

“We thought they (Randolph) might have some nerves and we wanted to jump on them early and stay aggressive the whole

That they did. Oakfield scored on a throwing error in the second inning and drove in another on another hit from Maddy Ryan.

McKaela and Maddy Ryan had back-to-back singles to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning and were brought home on a single from Mikayla Newton for a 7-0 lead.

City of Ashland has sixth overflow event

State appeals ruling striking down voter ID MADISON (AP) — A federal court ruling striking down Wisconsin’s voter identification law as unconstitutional has been appealed.

Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen filed the appeal with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.

Last month U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman ruled that Wisconsin’s law requiring voters show a state-issued photo ID at the polls imposes an unfair burden on poor and minority voters and violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection.

Van Hollen would have to win all of the cases in order for the law to be in

Van Hollen also asked Adelman to stay his ruling while the appeal is pending.

For the sixth time this year, dilute untreated wastewater effluent has been discharged from the City of Ashland Wastewater treatment facility.

According to a report filed with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, the discharge began at about 12:01 p.m. on Friday, May 9 to about 5 p.m.

Saturday, May 10, discharging an estimated 5.04 million gallons to Bay City Creek and then into Chequamegon Bay. The report indicated that a total of 1.74 inches of rain fell between last Wednesday and Friday, triggering the overflow.

“Due to inflow and infiltration, rain has caused flows greater than the treatment plant can handle,” the report stated. “The ground is saturated from snow melt and previous rain. This excess flow was directed to the retention basin, causing it to overflow.”

As it has in previous reports, the report indicated that the city was currently engaging in an infiltration and inflow reduction program with residential inspections for roof leaders and sump pumps that are connected to 15, the2014 sanitary sewer.

Wet, water- boarded soil and quiet fields surround a hilltop barn on a rare clear day as Wisconsin farmers continue to wait and hope for warmer and drier weather. the week at 3-8 degrees below normal. Average highs ranged from 4853 degrees with La Crosse, Madison and Milwaukee tapping 64 degrees.

Average lows ranged from 38-42 degrees, with Green Bay sinking to a chilly 35.

In Oneida County, quite a bit of frost remains in the ground. Cranberry beds have been reflooded to move it out and facilitate spring cleanup of floating leaves and debris.

The cadre of reporters pointed out that more warm and sunny weather is needed to dry all fields and warm soils for planting.

Although a few producers in Walworth County had started seeding corn, the inhospitable ground conditions there and elsewhere in the state made it no surprise that farmers dropped behind last year’s low mark for planting.

Around Eau Claire, even if the fields were passable, tucking in seed corn was not an option. “The soil temperature is 42 degrees at two inches deep”, that reporter noted.

“It is too cold to plant corn.”

By the end of the first week in May, a mere two percent of the state’s corn crop was in, compared to 2013’s mark of three percent and

Although pastures are greening up in Rusk County, it wasn’t a pleasing picture. “You can’t call any of it good at this point. There’s just not much growth,” that reporter commented.

The report from Price and Taylor counties was a mix. “The good news is hay fields are not showing signs of winterkill. The bad news is that manure pits are full and cannot be emptied,” the reporter shared.

In La Crosse County, nary a single planted field could be observed by the 3rd of May. “It appears the crops are going to be late again this year,” the reporter said.

Historical society will hear about Wesley Patton BRODHEAD — On Monday May 19, the Brodhead Historical Society will meet at the Depot Museum Office at 7 p.m.

Following a short meeting, and before touring the new exhibits, members and guide volunteers will hear Museum Committee Chairman Carol Gombar speak about early Brodhead resident Wesley W. Patton, his family, and the Civil War Battle of Cold Harbor (Virginia), where he died in battle 150 years ago.

The large framed photo of Sgt. Patton, given by Mrs. James Patton Allen many years

Both organizations were named in honor and remembrance of Patton.

The museum is also displaying information about the original First Brigade Band, which entered the Union Army 150 years ago, in 1864, as well as today’s 1st Brigade Band (recreated), which began 50 years ago, in 1964. The latter band, under direction of Brodhead

native, Professor Jon Condon of Beloit, will be giving two concerts on Sat August 9th during Covered Bridge Days in Brodhead.

Members and persons interested in being museum greeters this summer are urged to attend, to learn of the new exhibit information. The main exhibit “The Story of Brodhead’s Mill Race” remains on display for this year.

Brodhead Depot Museum will open for the season on Memorial Weekend: May 24, 25, and Memorial Monday 26th from 1 – 4 p.m.

Walworth County deputy DA to join private law firm

By Catherine W. Idzerda cidzerda@gazettextra.com ELKHORN

Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube is leaving Walworth County District Attorney’s Office for private practice.

Grube’s last day will be June 13, according to a news release from the district attorney’s office.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave state service to explore a new opportunity for me and my family in the private sector,” Grube said in the news release.

Grube has been with the district at-

torney’s office for more than 11 years.

While there, he handled a variety of cases. Most recently, his focus has been on sensitive crimes, the news release said.

Along with his work at the district attorney’s office, Grube was instrumental in the formation of the Walworth County’s Boys & Grube Girls Club and the Walworth County Children’s Advocacy Center.

District Attorney Daniel Necci said Grube has a “tremendous passion for jus-

tice.”

“It has been my great privilege to work alongside Josh here in our office,” Necci said. “He is a fixture in the courthouse and our community and that will be sorely missed.”

Grube lives in Janesville and will be working at the Brennan Steil law firm in downtown Janesville handling criminal and civil litigation, said Michael Grubb, shareholder in the law firm.

“We’re excited to have Josh—someone with the years of experience he has,” Grubb said. “It’s rare to find somebody who’s out and available to add to your firm like that. We’re happy and excited to get him on board.”

Kregness and his wife pulled into a rest area and discovered the eagle trapped under the wrap in the boat. It was taken to Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release in Colfax, and then to the Raptor Center in St. Paul for rehabilitation.

While Wisconsin’s white-tailed deer are growing new coats and antlers, hunters should study the new rules rather than focus on why the regulations were changed.

DNR working to explain deer hunting rule changes Guidance from Wisconsin’s chief deer biologist, Kevin Wallenfang, regarding the deer hunting rule changes for 2014 is that it’s quite simple.

“My advice to hunters is that this (the new rules) is not that complicated,” Wallenfang said. “It is going to take some getting used to, but give it a chance to work.”

However, at least some of the hunters are concerned that this is complicated stuff, and rather than learn what has changed, they continue to complain about the reasons for these changes.

In response, the Department of Natural Resources is waging a campaign in hopes that the winners will be the public, hunters, landowners and deer management in general.

“We were getting bombarded with questions,” Wallenfang said. “There has been some bad (inaccurate) information out there.”

Wallenfang, partly tongue-in-cheek, said “the worst thing people can do is believe what their buddies are telling them.”

lar hunters, regions of the state and various autumn and winter deer seasons.

Hunters should try to take the same approach.

Unfortunately the first of those question/answer editions focused quite a lot on the how and why there are changes. But that seems to have brought some hunters back to arguing about the reasons for the changes

Hooded Mergansers are the smallest members of the Merganser family. These ducks have a crest at the back of the head which can be expanded or contracted. In adult males, this crest has a large white patch, the head is black and the sides of the duck are reddish-brown. The adult female has a reddish crest, with much of the rest of the head and body a greyish-brown. Males perform a beautiful courtship display and, once mated, swim energetically around the female in further ritual displays.

Members of this species form monogamous pairs and remain together until the female successfully lays her eggs... usually 8-12. The nest is constructed in a natural tree cavity or sometimes in a fallen hollow log. Breeding occurs anytime between the end of February through June but is dependent upon region. Hooded Mergansers are most often seen along rivers and estuaries. This waterfowl feeds primarily on small fish, which they pursue in long, rapid, underwater dives, but will also take small frogs, newts, tadpoles, and aquatic insects. Hatchlings are precocial like most waterfowl and will usually leave the nest within 24 hours after they hatch. Once they leave, the young will be fully capable of diving and foraging on their own.

Chief Deputy, Sawyer County Sheriff’s Office There is a recent scam circulating where people from a Virginia phone number (804-321-1234) call stating “you will never have to pump your septic again if we fix it.” The best way to handle a call such as this is to hang up. If you are in need of such services, make sure you contact reputable companies for services rather than authorizing services from someone who contacts you. That way you can better rest assured you are doing business with a legitimate company.

Lance Johnson said in an email. “That school is having an outstanding athletic year.”

Despite the disappointing finish, the boys team won four conference individual titles.

Senior Luke Thiele accounted for three of those as he won the 110 hurdles (:15.53), the 300 hurdles (:40.43) and the long jump (20-01.50).

Senior Tim Dimino continued his strong season as he won the triple jump with a leap of 43-03.50.

It was just the event winners who had great meets.

Junior Chrystyan Woyak and sophomore Noah Kreilkamp have made noticeable improvements over last year to provide Johnson with some good options in the sprint events.

Woyak ran season-bests in both the 100 (:11.66) and the 200 (:23.88), finishing second in the 100 and third in the 200.

Kreilkamp and Woyak combined with Dimino and Thiele to run the 4x200 relay, which was second in a time of 1:33.06.

“I have to say that looking ahead to this season after last was over, I thought we’d be very weak.

L-Cats’ Season Comes to C

By Zach Hicks Leader Sports Editor The Lake Mills High School softball team had its season come to a close Thursday night.

The L-Cats lost 11-1 at Evansville despite Maddy Bergum's two-hit day at the dish.

Cashore recorded the win for Evansville.

She allowed one run over six innings. She struck out seven, walked one and surrendered four hits.

Mason, Litsheim and Sunness helped lead Evansville. They combined for eight hits and eight RBIs. Senior Elizabeth Frey took the loss for Lake Mills in her final game as an L-Cat. She allowed 11 runs in five innings, walked two and struck out one.

The game's last lead went to Evansville thanks to a first inning rally that saw six runs cross the plate on an RBI double

by Krueger, three singles, and a two-run triple by Sunness.

Lake Mills scored its only run of the game on a groundout

by Ciara Taylor in the fourth inning.

“It’s funny. One thing we say, is we need to keep the innings to three outs,” L-Cats ead coach Jim Clift said. “So, the first inning was a six-out inning. We had a couple chances to hold them to one or two runs. Then the second was a five-out inning.”

Clift went on to say that he was not blaming his team’s early-inning errors on the reason for the loss, as Evansville is a quality program.

“Evansville is a good team. see L-CATS, page 11

Conditional release for woman convicted of M KRISTEN ZAMBO kristen.zambo@journaltimes.com

RACINE — A Racine woman was ordered to spend 20 years on conditional release in the community for setting a fire in her seventh-floor bathroom at McMynn Tower, a judge ruled Monday.

Sheila Y. Branch, 58, set a fire on Aug. 20 in her apartment building at 110 Seventh St. It prompted an evacuation of the 124-resident complex.

Racine County District Attorney Rich Chiapete called for Branch to be institutionalized: committed to a state mental health hospital for the next 20 to 25 years. He said state law allows Branch to be committed for no more than 40 years, but she also could remain free on conditional release.

“There should be an extensive commitment order given how serious this case was,” Chiapete said during the hearing. “I think

she’s a significant risk of (causing) bodily harm to herself and others” and of causing property damage.

He argued she should be institutionalized in either Mendota Mental Health Institute or Winnebago Mental Health Institute, both state-run psychiatric hospitals.

After starting the fire in her bathroom, “she was sitting in the living room waiting for her apartment to burn,” he said.

EWTON — What started as 1,000 hungry mouths showing up for the Breakfast on the Farm in 1990 has grown to an expected 5,000 Manitowoc County residents and beyond.

Eggs used to be cracked by volunteers the day before but are now ordered precracked. A second frying pan was added to accommodate the extra mouths. Other than this, the recipe for success has not changed for the past 25 years.

The media got a preview of the 25th annual Manitowoc County Breakfast at D & D Jerseys, 8215 Center Road, which is about 10 miles south of Manitowoc.

The event will run from 8 a.m. to noon on June 8. Past breakfast hosts will be acknowledged by wearing a ribbon.

Decklin Schotz, 4, tries feeding one of the calves during the Frank Neighborhood Project’s Family Fun on the Farm Day Saturday in Brighton.

City kids — and adults — have fun on the farm

BY CHRISTINE A. VERSTRAETE KENOSHA NEWS CORRESPONDENT

BRIGHTON — Both the kids and adults from Frank School and the surrounding neighborhood had more fun than they expected Saturday.

The event was the annual Frank Neighborhood Project’s Family Fun on the Farm Day, hosted by Kenosha County Sheriff Dave Beth at his 120acre farm in Brighton.

Dennis Amezquita-Salazar, 13, was all smiles and couldn’t choose his favorite activity, whether it was going on a tractor-drawn hayride, getting to pet calves or feeding the horses.

He liked “almost everything,” he said, though his 7-year-old brother, Joshua, was more specific: “I like riding on the tractor.”

This was the eighth year that Beth, with help from volunteers and co-organizer the Rev. William Harris, opened his farm to some 200 adults and children for a fun day outdoors.

Even Beth, who drives the tractor and supplies some 300 hot dogs, 200 hamburgers and chips for lunch, couldn’t stop smiling.

Parents have fun And while the kids enjoyed it, the parents were also having as good a time, if not more so.

“It’s really nice,” said mom Marie Ferguson. “It’s the open fields and the view. It’s peaceful. The kids are having a good time.”

Bridgett Gaddy agreed, saying she enjoyed walking around the barns to see the cows.

“This is so cool,” said the mother of two. “I love stuff like this.”

A little learning

There was even a little learning thrown in, if anyone was listening, as Beth drove the tractor past a field with planted corn to the neighboring 300-plus-acre Daniels dairy farm.

Seeing all the cows together, the children asked questions: Is one of the cows pregnant? Where does milk come from?

Beth took time to explain. And as they visited some calves, the kids laughed as the babies licked or sucked their hands.

Euro goes negative E ALEX

arly Thursday morning, the European Central Bank announced that it was making an unprecedented move: lowering interest rates below zero. This means that banks will actually pay 0.1 percent for the privilege of having their money held by the ECB. For years now, the United States and Japan have paid near-zero interest to banks for depositing funds with the government, but Europe’s move to charging banks is new territory for a major economy.

The ultimate goal of these interest rate policies is to encourage banks to find something else to do with the money, such as lend it out to businesses or consumers, which policymakers hope will stimulate flagging economies.

Economists and central bankers have been fearing that a deflationary spiral could

BREITINGER Commentary

occur, which would halt economic activity across Europe.

Negative interest rates are intended to stimulate healthy, yet controlled, inflation.

The move to negative rates was largely anticipated, as ECB President Mario Draghi has been hinting at it for weeks. Nonetheless, the announcement caused investors to take their money out of the euro, briefly knocking the currency down near $1.35, the lowest level since early February. » See EURO, A8

Marcus Corp. has added “DreamLounger” seating — leather seats that recline like a La-Z-Boy and offer extra leg room.

The new seating is the latest development in the Milwaukee-based company’s mission to keep customers — whether watching a movie at one of its 55 theaters in the Midwest or staying at one of 19 majority-owned or

Financial analysts have repeatedly asked whether the Mariano’s banner could be expanded to other states. Roundy’s CEO Robert Mariano has said that is certainly a possibility, but had no specific plans for doing so.

“Certainly the diversity is important,” said Doug Neis, Marcus’ chief financial officer. “The hotel business tends to be very tied to the general economy and macroeconomic trends. The theater business provides a very nice complement to that because it is strong both in good times and bad. In fact, in six of the last eight recessions, the theater business has actually gone up. So they are complementary from that perspective.”

MIKE DEWITT/FOR THE DAILY PRESS

A spectacular view of the sunset over a rapidly freezing Lake Superior was the number two selection in the 2013 Federal Recreation Lands Photo Contest, beating out over 17,000 other entries.

Ashland was one of 12 high school music programs in the United States selected for the honor, and one of seven receiving the Enterprise Award recipient. And it’s an honor that the school has been targeting for some time.

“You need to apply, and I have been applying, off and on, since 1996,” said Christine Hulmer, Ashland High School director of bands and the music department chairman. “ In 1996, we were actually registered as a Grammy Signature School.”

The honor was officially announced in late March, but the selection process began in August.

That’s when the Grammy Foundation notified more than 20,000 public high schools which then had to fill out an online application.

“What you need to do is go online and fill out their forms, which have questions like, ‘What is your school population? What are the demographics of your school? How many kids take music? How many music teachers do you have?’” Hulmer said.

“There’s all kinds of questions.”

These applications are scored, and the semifinalists are then chosen.

This year, there were 123 schools that made that that specific cut, including five from Wisconsin.

By Julian Emerson Leader-Telegram staff ALTOONA — Friends Rocky Yang and Christopher Xiong stood at their familiar fishing spot near the Lake Altoona dam shortly before 7:30 p.m. Thursday, hoping to land a few fish from a relatively quiet pool amid the raging Eau Claire River.

The 18-year-old Eau Claire North High School seniors had spent the day on a school fishing club excursion in Alma, catching fish in the Mississippi River.

Now, a few hours later, they hoped to do the same at the Rocky Yang, 18 fishing hole they frequently visit.

Suddenly, Yang and Xiong noticed two young men in a canoe bumping along atop the fast-flowing water. Xiong and Yang were surprised to see anyone on the river, given the high-water conditions.

“I was scared to death.

We knew those guys were in real trouble.”

In northeastern Wisconsin, apricot blossoms were just beginning to open by Mother’s Day.

Farmers on the go 3.9 days suitable for fieldwork CAROLE CURTIS Correspondent MADISON Farmers across Wisconsin got rolling last week as a window opened in the weather.

According to the May 12 “Wisconsin Crop Progress & Condition Report”, the first full week of May provided 3.9 days suitable for fieldwork. Farmers made the most of the cool, clear days with planting, manure application and fertilizer spreading going full tilt.

The amount of spring tillage, as well as oats and corn planted, easily doubled the previous week’s mark and swung ahead of last year. Over half the state’s potato crop was tucked in by Mother’s Day. “We had a three day window of opportunity for spreading fertilizer, lime and manure, and some planting,” the reporter from Barron County said in the document created with input from farm reporters and county ag agents across the state.

The fortuitous window closed midweek when a warm front rolled across the state, carrying heavy rain and thunderstorms to the north and patchier pre-

cipitation across the south.

Washburn County got 2 inches of rain Thursday and Friday that helped green up rye fields, and fieldwork remained on hold across Florence County.

Overall, it was a good week for fieldwork in Juneau County.

“Farmers were putting in long days hoping to get as much done as possible before we get hit with more storms,” the reporter said. “It was great having a few warmer days and not much rain.”

It was also a good week for fieldwork in Crawford County, where quite a bit of corn was

“It’s a chance to see a theater that’s significant architecturally and historically,” said Brian Heller, executive director of the Al. Ringling Theatre Friends booster group. “It set the stage for all the movie palaces of the 1920s.”

A DAY IN THE SUN 670 receive diplomas beneath blue skies

By Kali Thiel

| kthiel@sheboyganpress.com

Donna Post made certain to get a front row seat at Vollrath Bowl on Sunday to watch the last of her grandchildren, Hunter Post, graduate from North High School.

The Post family members reserved their spot on Saturday, at the base of the Bowl, as close to the graduates as spectators were allowed to sit.

The day was especially meaningful, said Donna, because at one time they worried whether Hunter would make it to the graduation stage.

“We really didn’t think he was going to graduate because he likes to skip school a lot,” Donna said. “When he entered his senior year, he was a D- student, but his mother kept pushing him and pushing him. He ended up graduating with C’s and B’s.”

To show their support, the family

came equipped with an aresenal of celebratory items — fog horns, a megaphone and a bundle of balloons — for when Hunter crossed the stage.

“We’re proud,” Donna said. “That’s why we did all this.”

Hunter was joined by 669 graduates on Sunday. It was the 76th annual commencement for North High School, the 54th annual commencement for South High School, the seventh annual commencement for George D. Warriner High School for Personalized Learning

and the third annual commencements for both IDEAS Academy and Central High School.

Thousands of family members and friends showed up for the picture-perfect day.

Some, like the Posts, arrived the day before to designate a prime spot and then returned the next day. By early Saturday afternoon, dozens of blankets were already starting to litter the June 10, 2014 1:54 / See pm GRADUATION, Page A2

Suit over Zoo Interchange is settled MADISON (AP) — The state of Wisconsin and Milwaukee community organizations that filed a lawsuit related to the reconstruction of the Zoo Interchange have reached a settlement.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced Monday that the state will pay $13.5 million for additional

bus routes and other services to alleviate congestion under the deal reached through courtsponsored mediation.

The federal lawsuit was filed in 2012 by Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Inner-city Congregations Allied for Hope.

The groups alleged that state

and federal transportation officials were discriminating against urban minorities by not including public transit improvements in the $1.7 billion project.

The interchange includes the crossroads of Interstate-94, I-894 and U.S. Highway 45.

Work is to begin next year and last through the end of 2018.

Beetle ranchers raise bug to battle inv

By Andy Davis Associated Press

STEVENS POINT — A group of volunteers scattered across central Wisconsin has taken up a new hobby and is raising an army of defenders tasked with fighting off an invasion.

They are beetle ranchers, raising tens of thousands of tiny galerucella pusilla bugs that will be turned loose in the wild where they and their insatiable appetites will mow down waves of the invasive species of plants

called purple loosestrife.

Their ranches have no stables or barns. Instead, Karen Dostal and other volunteers have in their yards plants draped in netting and sitting in wading pools filled with vilelooking murky water.

That is the preferred environment of purple loosestrife, a plant from Europe that plagues Wisconsin wetlands, where it grows out of control and makes it nearly impossible for native plant life to grow.

The defense until recently primarily has in-

volved treating wetlands with gallons and gallons of herbicide. But now, armies of beetles are being raised to beat back the European invasion, said Kaycie Stushek, the regional aquatic invasive species specialist for the Golden Sands Resource Conservation and Development Council Inc. “All this project is really doing is introducing a native predator,” Stushek said. “They are not going to move on to other plants.”

Mother's Day on the Farm Mothers Day is always special on the farm, including on the Kutz farm at Jefferson.

Farm expands to meat market Focus is on locally-grown foods GLORIA HAFEMEISTER Correspondent PRAIRIE DU SAC “Attitude is everything” is a belief the Wyttenbach family in Prairie du Sac has always held.

This belief was further embraced as their idea for a meat market materialized, allowing them to sell their farm-raised Angus beef directly to the consumer.

With plans ten years in the making, Fritz and Ginny Wyttenbach enthusiastically opened Wyttenbach Meats in April, 2002.

Since then their motto has been, “Meat the Best.”

The Wisconsin Beef Council recently provided an opportunity for culinary students at Madison College to meet the Wyttenbach family and learn about how

Company, and the Jack Wyttenbach family raises pork at Maizen-Bacon farm. The two brothers farmed with their dad until 1996 when they split the operation.

The family is doing what more and more livestock producers are doing as they look for ways to utilize farming practices that build up the soil, reduce runoff and create habitat for wildlife.

They produce safe, wholesome food, but are unable to cover their costs and make a living at it when selling into the conventional market. That’s why more and more farmers these days are choosing to direct-market their meat to consumers.

Fritz told the future chefs that the family works with a nutritionist to create a balanced ration for the livestock. The Angus are raised on a mix of grass and corn that maintains flavor and tenderness while keeping the meat lean and healthy.

Ginny said it is truly a family
