PABST, FREDERICK JR. (1869–1958), inducted 1957
The second-generation Pabst—Fred Jr.—briefly ran the “Blue Ribbon” business immediately following his father’s death, but left to establish Pabst Farms, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, in 1906. On the 1,500-acre Pabst Farms development, he bred champion Percheron and Hackney horses and established a high-producing Holstein herd, built around All-Americans. Pabst Farms was known throughout the country for its top breeding programs, best land management practices, and self-sufficient dairy operations. He returned to Pabst Brewing during the period of Prohibition to keep the company afloat as a cheese manufacturer. Once the brewery was allowed to reopen, Kraft took over the cheese company. Pabst was director of the Holstein-Friesian Association for years. He was honored by the National Dairy Shrine in 1951 and the Saddle & Sirloin Club in 1957.
