Jake William Baumgarten

Jake William Baumgarten breeds Hereford cattle in Belfield, ND, serving Stark County and western North Dakota near Dickinson. With over a decade of experience, the operation follows guidelines from the American Hereford Association and works with veterinarians to keep herd health screenings up to date.

Calves are raised on rotational pasture and receive early handling to build calm temperaments, while breeding stock lives in spacious pens with access to shelter. The farm’s roots extend back three generations, and its selective breeding focuses on maternal traits and structural soundness that suit local rangelands. Morning and evening checks ensure prompt attention to nutrition and comfort, reflecting a hands-on approach by a family deeply familiar with seasonal conditions.

This steady commitment helps maintain herds that adapt well to weather changes and produce offspring noted for consistent growth rates. Pedigree and performance records are maintained to support breeding decisions and track progress over time.
