Edgar Brown

Edgar Brown breeds Shorthorn cattle in Willow River, MN, in northeast Minnesota near Minneapolis. He has been involved in Shorthorn breeding for more than a decade, maintains membership in the American Shorthorn Association and follows a structured calving program with genetic diversity and routine veterinary evaluations.

His cattle graze on rotational pastures surrounding the family farm, with year-round shelters and mineral-rich forage to support natural growth cycles. Each calf receives daily handling from birth to build trust, and the herd lives alongside the farm’s other livestock to encourage calm social behavior.

Local fairgoers often note the gentle disposition and strong foot structure of his stock. The farm’s emphasis on low-stress handling and balanced nutrition helps cattle reach steady weights without overconditioning. Buyers commend the even temperaments and ease of integration into diverse operations. He adapts breeding decisions each year based on performance data collected from weigh-ins and maternal evaluations.
