From Dirt Road Cattle Company to Dinner Tables
Rooted in agriculture from a young age, Amanda Schankie learned her love for animals from her father. Along with assisting him in caring for the cattle and hogs, Amanda was often found at the sale barn, riding in the tractor and joining him at the elevator. She says she always wanted to be just like her dad.
Amanda was active in 4-H and started her own farm when she met her husband, Phillip Schankie. This is when they started the foundation of Dirt Road Cattle Company, located east of Madison.
