Castle Cattle Company

Castle Cattle Company is a Hereford cattle breeder in Carney, MI, in the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. With more than ten years of breeding experience on the family farm, it adheres to American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts regular health testing on calves and brood cows for eyesight, feet and fertility. Its cattle graze on rotational pasture seeded with native grasses and clover, and every animal receives gentle handling from weaning onward to foster calm temperaments and strong maternal instincts.

Its program emphasizes early socialization in a family farm setting, and calves often spend nights under a sheltered pen near the farmhouse to become accustomed to steady human interaction. Several herd members trace back to regional champion bloodlines, which supports calving ease and steady weight gain while preserving the breed’s hallmark docility. Its balanced focus on heritage genetics and practical husbandry has earned respect among regional farmers seeking dependable beef cattle that perform consistently on small-scale operations.
