Jerry was an avid hunter, elk hunting in Colorado and Wyoming, pheasant hunting in Nebraska and North Dakota, and goose hunting with his family on his farm. Jerry established Brewer Land & Cattle, where he sold property and raised cattle, hogs, sheep, and goats. Providing a place for his family to hunt and fish was important to him.
