Ahlers Farm

Ahlers Farm, Hereford cattle, Parkers Prairie, MN, is located in Otter Tail County and the lakes region near Alexandria. The farm has worked with Hereford cattle for over 20 years and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association and state-level livestock council.

It follows standard health testing protocols for genetic and infectious diseases, including annual veterinary evaluations, and calves are raised on rolling pastures to support natural grazing habits. Herd socialization begins at birth with gentle handling aimed at easing transitions. Ahlers Farm balances structural soundness with calm temperaments across its small herds.

Its commitment to pasture-based stewardship, including crop residue grazing and seasonal paddock rotation, reflects a practical approach to sustainable livestock care. Livestock receive a balanced ration of hay and grains, with mineral supplements suited to local soil conditions. Farm owners have shared breeding insights at regional agricultural meetings and occasionally host local 4-H members for hands-on learning.
