Bradley Hochhalter

Bradley Hochhalter raises registered Hereford cattle in Green Isle, MN, Sibley County near Minneapolis. Operating from a family-owned farm with roots in the region, it participates in herd health protocols including annual veterinary exams, vaccination programs and routine genetic evaluations. Most calves are registered with the American Hereford Association and meet standardized conformation criteria. Breeding decisions are guided by sire and dam performance records to maintain balanced growth and maternal traits.

Calves are born and raised on rotational pastures to encourage natural foraging behaviors and minimize stress. Daily handling and early weaning seminars introduce youngstock to human interaction and support a calm disposition. Water troughs and sheltered loafing areas are available in each paddock, ensuring constant access to fresh water and protection from the elements. The operation’s emphasis on animal welfare and pasture-based husbandry reflects a thoughtful approach to sustainable cattle production.
