The Coburn Company, Inc. was founded in 1925 by Orrie Coburn, who was inspired by the need to control livestock herds on large tracts of land in the western United States. He developed an electric fencing device, the "Coburn One-Wire," which became the first mass-produced electric fencer in the United States. Around the same time, he had another innovative idea. The extensive national rail system in place by that time made it possible to send top quality Wisconsin dairy calves around the country. He started selling dairy calves through the mail, knowing that these calves would help dairy farmers everywhere improve their herds and serve as bovine ambassadors for Wisconsin dairy farming. These two innovative and well executed ideas were the beginning of a successful company.
Today The Coburn Company, Inc. has been active in the dairy industry for more than 85 years. Over that time, we have stuck to our grandfather Orrie's example of unwavering dedication to customer service and high-quality and innovative products. This has made us one of the most widely known and respected manufacturers and distributors of livestock supplies and milking equipment in the world. Our products can be found in dairy equipment and farm supply stores in every state as well as over sixty countries throughout the world. Although the days of shipping calves over the rails are long gone, today we are proud to be your source for the widest range of top quality farm supplies and dairy equipment anywhere.
