The Ardis Schwittay Ayrshire Heifer Memorial is in honor of Jeremy and Jason Schwittay’s mother, Ardis, who passed away in January 2019. The memorial strives to keep her memory alive by giving away an Ayrshire heifer calf each year because she was the main calf caretaker on Schwittay Farms LLC in Peshtigo, WI.
This year family went through over 40 applications and had to narrow it down. Due to the memorial contest being canceled in 2020, they decided to give away two calves this year in their mother’s honor.
Congratulations to Josie Kinnard from De Pere and Ashley Brandel of Lake Mills! Both girls were contacted late last week with the news.
