Nanne Kuperus grew up as the third child from a family of six children on his parents' farm in Roordahuizum.

His father Reinder Nannes (1840-1927) did a lot to improve cattle and won many medals with his studbook cattle.
He was very progressive in nature, but not really business-like.
This was taken care of by his brother Kornelis Nannes (1844-1917) from Marsum, creating a close business bond between the two.
Together with his brother and the Schaap family, they were the first to export pedigree cattle abroad (Poland and Russia).

Livestock by sea.
A collection of Frisian pedigree cattle, three bulls and twenty cows from the cattle breeding company K.N. Kuperus & Zonen in Leeuwarden aboard the "Preussen" in Rotterdam.
This Friesian cattle is destined for a Chinese company in Hong Kong.

Nanne was very interested in Friesland's development in the field of livestock farming and dairy.
He was also a member of the Committee for Agricultural Cooperative and the Association for Cooperative Dairies.
He was very social and therefore a good friend of Pieter Jelles Troelstra.
Due to illness, he had to give up work as a director in Balk.
A successor came and Nanne was offered a representation of the Frico (wholesaler of cheese and milk) in Utrecht.
The family moved with him, where he became a member of the Baptist church council.
In 1929 he withdrew from the wholesale trade, which was continued by his son Cornelis.
Nanne died in 1934 as a result of a heart attack.
