Berven Stock Farms

Berven Stock Farms is a Simmental cattle breeder in Milan, MN, Chippewa County and the Redwood Falls area. It follows well-established health testing protocols, participates in performance recording through breed programs, and maintains registration through recognized associations. Several generations of family ownership have shaped its approach to breeding and stewardship. Calves and breeding stock graze on rotational pastures, receive daily handling to ensure a calm temperament, and benefit from covered housing during seasonal weather shifts.

The herd is selected for balanced growth, docility and maternal traits, reflecting a focus on long-term herd health and consistent performance under pasture conditions. It implements a nutrition program tailored to each development stage, with mineral supplementation and forage quality monitoring to promote steady growth and overall well-being. Young cattle experience regular handling from birth, early social grouping, and access to comfortable shelter during harsh weather for stress reduction. The farm’s rural setting provides extensive grazing land, supports sustainable management across seasons, and preserves natural grassland habitat for wildlife.
