John Murphy & Family

John Murphy & Family are breeding Hereford cattle in Farmington MN within Dakota County and southeastern Minnesota region near Minneapolis. Their operation adheres to guidelines of the American Hereford Association and emphasizes registered bloodlines supported by ongoing health and structural soundness evaluations.

Breeding decisions combine temperament assessments with performance traits to suit both small-scale farms and larger grazing operations. Calves begin pasture life before dawn, with daily handling in wide-open fields that encourages social bonding and easy adaptation to changing seasons. Barn facilities offer shelter during harsh weather while allowing free movement and natural grazing habits when conditions permit.

Longstanding ties to the local farming community foster a supportive network where feedback guides continuous improvements in herd health and welfare. Genetic tracking records are maintained to ensure transparency and to support buyers seeking reliable performance data. The family welcomes respectful visits by appointment, believing that firsthand farm experience builds trust and understanding between breeders and stewards.
