Description
Although the Pabst name is world-famous for its ties to the brewing industry, Fred Pabst Jr. balanced his duty to the circle of relatives brewery with his love of land and livestock. In 1906, he started purchasing large parcels of land near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, to create one of the vital important model farms in the USA. Employing the up to date advances in American and European agricultural theory, he organized a sustainable farming operation that provided all that used to be necessary for his self-sufficient farm.
From the construction of new farm buildings to the choice of diverse livestock, Pabst carefully regarded as each detail of his landmark farming operation. Hackney and Percheron horses were the mainstay of Pabst Farms until the popularity of the automobile quickly made horse breeding for carriages and wagons a thing of the past. Undaunted, Pabst transformed his 1,400-acre farm operation to center of attention solely on the development and breeding of award-winning, high-production Holstein dairy cattle. This is the story of how one circle of relatives made their mark on Wisconsin’s dairy industry, but also of the Pabst circle of relatives’s life on the farm and their efforts to bring the Pabst Brewing Company through the dark days of Prohibition with the development of a revolutionary cheese product, Pabst-ett. Pabst Farms: The History of a Model Farm showcases Wisconsin’s dairy history at its best and is illustrated with hundreds of photographs from the Pabst circle of relatives’s private archives.
