Doug and Linda Hodorff have a lifetime in the dairy industry. In Wisconsin, Doug founded Second Look Holsteins in the 1970’s and later merged with Doug’s parent’s dairy in the late 1980’s. Today Second Look Holsteins LLC milks 1,100 Registered Holsteins. Linda Keene Hodorff grew up on her family’s Raymau Farm in Auburn, Maine. A 1977 graduate of Cornell University College of Agriculture, Linda worked as a Cooperative Extension Farm Management Agent in Otsego County, NY and spent 8 years with Carnation Genetics/Landmark Genetics (now Alta Genetics). 

The Hodorff’s have been married and working partners in Hodorff Enterprises for approximately 39 years. Together they entered the Nebraska dairy industry in 1999 when they purchased a small former feedlot in southwestern Nebraska to raise their Wisconsin dairy
heifers. Today, thousands of Wisconsin heifers move to Nebraska and neighboring states to be raised.

Broken Bow Dairy Story: In September 2005, the Hodorff’s purchased this vacant 200 cow dairy in northern Custer County located north of Broken Bow at Milburn, Nebraska. It has now grown to a 1,150 cow permit. Hodorff’s have added highly productive irrigated land in the area to support the dairy over the past 16 years. Now there are 436.58 owned acres included in their operation.
