Working alongside her husband, Dennis, for over 31 years, Marlene Schwerin has accomplished something that many would envy. She helped train her daughters so well that they eventually could take over her tasks on the family farm.During the time her daughters were growing up, Marlene went from teaching science to being a full-time, stay-at-home, ranch wife and mother for 16 years. She performed many of the daily cattle chores of monitoring herd health and managing the cattle records. She helped Dennis to gather, sort, process, haul and market approximately 1,000 head of cattle each year. Schwerin Farms, Inc. was established in 1976 by Dennis and his father, Edwin. They raised beef cattle and registered American Quarter Horses on a 1,000-acre ranch near Gentry, Arkansas. Registered Brangus cattle were added 21 years ago when their daughters, Susie and Chrisie, started showing Brangus heifers as show projects.
