Brookwood Farms

Brookwood Farms is a Chianina cattle breeder in Sauk Rapids, MN, in Central Minnesota near St. Cloud. Jerry Bauerly has raised Chianina cattle on this property for more than ten years, is a member of the American Chianina Association and ensures every animal undergoes routine health screening before and after each breeding season. His approach balances pedigree tracking with practical husbandry, with breeding pairs selected for structure and temperament. Cattle graze on rotational pastures, have unlimited access to fresh water and are sheltered in sturdy barns during colder months.

Pasture mixes feature native grasses and legumes to support soil health and balanced nutrition. Calves receive daily hands-on socialization to foster calm temperaments and adaptability. The breeding program emphasizes maternal strength and frame consistency, fitting both commercial producers and smaller operations. Local buyers note the breed’s strong muscling, consistent growth and the farm’s openness about bloodlines.
