Arthur L Madsen & Family

Arthur L Madsen & Family are proud Hereford cattle breeders in Faribault, MN, serving south-central Minnesota near Minneapolis.

Their farm follows American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts rigorous routine health screenings for parasites, BVD, and Johne’s disease to maintain overall herd well-being. Animals are raised on pasture with rotational grazing techniques that support soil health, and calves spend time in open barns that encourage natural social behavior. As a family-run operation, they share decades of practical experience in livestock management and emphasize transparency at every stage.

The herd’s calm temperament and consistent gains reflect a focus on balanced nutrition and attentive daily care. Performance records are kept for each animal, tracking growth rates and maternal traits to inform breeding decisions. The family welcomes farm visits by appointment, offering an opportunity to meet the cattle and learn about sustainable practices firsthand.
