Cherokee Mini Herefords

Cherokee Mini Herefords is raising Miniature Hereford cattle in Kimball, NE, on the Panhandle near Omaha. For more than a decade the farm has focused on registered stock, participating in American Hereford Association programs and conducting regular health screenings. The cattle graze on well-managed pasture and spend nights in a ventilated barn, and each calf is socialized from birth. James Phillips emphasizes low-stress handling and sustainable grazing practices that support soil health and animal well-being.

Customers often note the gentle temperament and consistent conformation of their calves, and some animals have gone on to local 4-H fairs. A family operation with roots in the region, Cherokee Mini Herefords offers personalized support for new owners and detailed lineage records with each purchase. Breeding goals emphasize calving ease and uniform markings, reflecting the historic qualities of the breed. Prospective buyers receive clear lineage information and guidance on nutrition and pasture management.
