Shane Sauer is the third generation to run his family’s dairy farm at Waterloo.
The Waterloo dairy farmer recalls spending many hours watching and admiring his grandfather for the many skills he had operating the farm. Sauer also remembers helping with the milking at a very young age.
Sauer credits those early years on the farm for developing his work ethic and for teaching him that there will be good days and bad days but that it was the career and lifestyle he wanted.
When Shane was 15 he started receiving a percentage of the milk check for his contributions to keeping the farm going. During that time he began looking for ways to take over the business.
