Dale Pflanzer

Dale Pflanzer, a small registered Hereford cattle operation in Imlay City, MI, serves Lapeer County and the thumb near Flint. Pflanzer follows American Hereford Association programs and arranges regular health screenings, including genetic tests for calving ease and disease susceptibility. This family farm operates on practices refined over generations, balancing efficiency with animal comfort. Routine hoof trimming and parasite control are carried out under veterinary guidance to support overall herd well-being.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures and spend nights in a climate-sheltered barn, giving calves consistent handling to build trust and ease of management. Breeding decisions rely on expected progeny differences and type evaluations to maintain maternal strength, longevity and balanced disposition. Pflanzer emphasizes sustainable practices, integrating cover crops to enrich soil while supporting cattle nutrition. Local breeders and longtime customers note the steady growth and even temperaments of the calves.
