Stewart Cattle Co.Mike and Joanne Stewart owned and operated Stewart Cattle Co. at Swanson Farm in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Mike finds that his aerospace colleagues enjoy hearing about the cows almost as much as airplanes, and likes to share that side of the operations, too.
They maintained a herd of Red Poll cattle, which are a unique breed, known for their excellent quality. Recently they donated the herd to Washington State University, and moved the herd to WSU's farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. |
About the FarmLocated in the Skagit River Valley north of Seattle, the Swanson Farm is owned by Joanne's family. Her parents bought the land in 1958, and built the farm to what it is today. We raised registered Red Poll cattle on the farm for several years. The entire surrounding area is the home of dairy farms, cornfields, nut groves and other cattle herds. Of course, the Skagit Valley is known world-wide for its vegetable farming and tulip fields.
