Damar Farms

Damar Farms was established by the Hehli family in 1947. Dr. David Hehli & his wife Mary have raised various breeds & combinations of livestock, including Black Angus, Red Angus, Limousine, Murray Grey & Simmental, to name a few. Over the years Damar Farms settled on Angus livestock, & specifically the Red Angus breed.  The Angus breed produces excellent eating quality beef that is tender & well marbled.  The herd is bred to produce the finest beef available.

Dr. Hehli & Farm Manager Tim Boortz have gone to great lengths researching & selecting just the right combination of genetics to produce a superior cut of beef in the most humane way possible.  For example, they use calving ease bulls, which mean the calves have smaller birth weights, making it easier & less stressful on the cows.

This meat comes only from animals born & raised on Damar Farms in west central Wisconsin.  We believe it’s the safest meat you can buy. The organic certification program is a fully verifiable production system that collects information on the history of every animal in the program, including its breed history, veterinary care, & feed.  

No antibiotics, growth-promoting hormones, steroids or animal by-products are added to Damar’s organic forage or grain.  This means they are never fed rendered animal by-products from slaughter-houses that could have been contaminated with BSE (Mad-Cow-Disease).  (BSE is transmitted to cattle through feed containing animal by-products from contaminated animals.)

Damar Farms uses sustainable organic farming practices.  These practices avoid petroleum-based fertilizers & chemicals, helping to limit America’s dependence on foreign oil.  Organic farming is more time & labor intensive, creating more jobs in rural America.  The people of Damar Farms believe this helps produce the finest beef as well as preserving the land for now & for future generations.
