Jordan Bergan

Jordan Bergan raises Hereford cattle in Peterson, Minnesota in Fillmore County and the Driftless Area near Rochester. With more than a decade of breeding experience, they follow established guidelines for genetic selection and routine health testing. Calves grow on open pasture with access to shade and fresh water, and herd members are handled daily to foster calm temperaments. Grazing management rotates stock across diverse pastures to enhance soil health and natural forage availability, complemented by feed from nearby grain suppliers.

Winter housing in deep-bedded barns offers additional comfort and shelter during colder months. The farm integrates low-stress handling techniques and maintains detailed breeding records for consistent traits like strong bones and steady growth. Breeding goals aim for moderate frame size and efficient feed conversion, traits valued by local farms. A small herd structure allows careful observation of individual animals, reflecting a family heritage of respectful livestock stewardship.
