Jared Dueppengiesser has worked his way up through the Milk Source organization, from an intern to a herdsman to now herd manager of one of Wisconsin’s largest dairies. He leads a team of 52 employees at Milk Source’s Rosendale Dairy.
A New York native, Jared grew up on his family’s 900-cow dairy before heading off to Cornell University.
