Donald Roedel

Donald Roedel is a Hereford cattle breeder in Kalispell, MT, serving Flathead County and the Flathead Valley near Missoula. He has spent over a decade developing a herd that meets American Hereford Association standards, holds membership in livestock registries, and follows recommended health testing protocols for soundness and genetic health. On his family-run ranch, grazing rotations across rolling pastures enriched by native grasses support robust growth and natural hoof health.

Calves receive attentive handling from birth, with regular socialization to ensure calm behavior during routine care. A balanced diet of local feed grains and high-quality forage promotes steady development before weaning. Breeding decisions emphasize maternal strength, feed efficiency and consistent performance under Montana conditions. Clients often comment on his cows’ even temperament and appreciate the detailed lineage and health records provided. Sustainable ranching practices, including water conservation and rotational grazing, reflect his commitment to the land’s long-term health.
