Jamie Mcdanolds

Jamie Mcdanolds breeds Hereford cattle in Mystic, IA, serving Appanoose County and the Des Moines area. For many years the operation has been registered with the American Hereford Association and participates in routine health screenings to monitor genetic traits and structural soundness.

Rotational grazing paddocks encourage deep-rooted forage growth, and calves receive daily handling to build calm temperaments. Sheltered loafing barns, open pastures and constant access to clean water support cattle comfort throughout the year.

The herd’s strong maternal instincts often lead to easy calving and healthy gains on a modest feed regimen. Longtime buyers describe the cattle as sturdy, low-maintenance additions well suited to family farms and 4-H programs. Several Jamie Mcdanolds cattle have earned ribbons at county fairs and regional exhibitions, reflecting the breeder’s steady focus on quality and temperament. Visitors often remark on the clean facility and attentive care each animal receives.
