Dylan Folkestad

Dylan Folkestad breeds Hereford cattle in Miltona, MN, serving central Minnesota near Alexandria. He has worked with Hereford cattle for more than ten years and invests in registered stock with the American Hereford Association, pairing selection for maternal traits with routine health testing and veterinary oversight. He shows select bulls at county fairs and shares insights at regional cattle meetings.

His cattle are raised on rotating pasture enriched with native grasses and legumes, offering balanced nutrition. Pastures are watered by a spring-fed pond, and wooded shelter provides relief in harsh winters. Calves receive daily handling from birth, promoting calm temperaments and ease of management.
