Isabella Portner, a member of the Sleepy Eye FFA Chapter in Minnesota, received her first registered Brown Swiss calf when she was seven years old. She has since grown her herd to 24 cows, heifers, and bull calves. She keeps her herd on her family’s dairy farm where she barters milk sales for her expenses of feed, housing, vaccinations, semen, BST, bedding and vet costs.
Isabella, the daughter of Mary and Tom, hopes to expand her herd even more.
