Doug Lind & Family

Doug Lind & Family are Hereford cattle breeders in Rushford, MN, located in southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. They follow recognized breed standards and conduct regular health screenings across all age groups to maintain herd wellbeing. Their cattle graze freely on native pasture year-round with access to covered barns during harsh winter weather.

The family’s approach emphasizes gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization of calves. Their calves receive routine veterinary checks and are introduced to halter training within the first few weeks. Their spacious layout keeps adult cows and calves close to the farmstead, allowing daily observation of health and growth.

Generations of local experience inform their selective breeding, focusing on sound structure, calf performance, and longevity in the herd. They maintain a small, tight-knit herd to ensure personalized care for each animal and easier, detailed traceability of pedigrees.
