calf care.
farm life.
motherhood.
Hi I’m Jenna.
I’m a dairy farmer, a mom, a wife and I want you— my fellow farmer, mom + wife— to know that you are not alone in this crazy, chaotic, life we lead.
Overwhelming— sometimes
Busy— almost always
Worth it— 100%
Consider me your farmer friend who GETS it. No judgement. Just an open ear and if you’re up for it (and if I have them) some tips for making it a little less messy in the ole noggin. You aren’t alone sister. Join me in putting the messy out on the table so we can sort it, keep what we want, file away what we need, and ditch the rest so we— us, our family, our cows— can live a more joyful life. Because that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?
Here you will find resources to help simplify your life— from the barn + beyond— to create less stress and more time for living life.
I am so glad you’re here.

“The foundation of our herd today are calves that came from Jenna's calf raising program. They have been strong, well developed, and thrive in our herd. We started doing IVF with rare semen in 2020, the resulting calves we trusted to Jenna's calf rearing program. This was a decision that we could not have been more pleased to have made looking back. The resulting calves are now in production at a number of levels in our herd today. They have become staple cows, donors, and sires that have contributed greatly to the growth and success of the Synergy Wagyu program.”

“Her depth of knowledge and experience about calf care in group housing is impressive, but her devotion to the well-being of all the animals in her care and her dedication has been the key to their success.”
