Holistic Life Farm

Holistic Life Farm is a Durham cattle breeder in Clatskanie, OR, serving Columbia County in northwest Oregon near Portland. Dr Paul Jensen has built his herd following breed association guidelines with regular health evaluations and traceable lineage records.

As a veterinarian, Dr Paul Jensen integrates medical insight into breeding decisions with a focus on structural soundness and longevity. Animals graze rotationally across open pastures and enjoy daily hands-on care to encourage calm temperaments and early social bonds. Shelters feature natural ventilation, and calves remain with dams to ensure proper colostrum transfer and initial bonding.

The farm applies holistic grazing methods that support soil renewal and natural forage diversity, reflecting its environmental commitment. Their mini Durham cattle adapt well to small homesteads, displaying steady growth and gentle temperaments while meeting rigorous welfare standards through consistent record keeping and family-focused husbandry. Owners often note the breed’s resilience and steady docility, making them well-suited to diverse terrain and family farms.
