Josef M Pettit

Josef M Pettit, Hereford cattle, Rushford, MN, family-run farm in southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. With more than two decades of breeding experience, Pettit maintains a herd registered with recognized cattle associations, including the American Hereford Association, and follows routine genetic and health screenings. Calves enjoy open pastures and gentle daily handling to foster steady temperaments.

Its farm blends time-honored ranching methods with close attention to each animal’s daily needs. Rotational grazing across diverse fields and access to natural springs supports both nutritional balance and pasture health while preserving local ecosystems. Feed is sourced from nearby grains and supplementary hay during winter, and stock receive regular veterinary care, including seasonal vaccinations, through a local practitioner. One reviewer observed that the young cattle arrive home with calm behavior and strong conformation. That steady feedback reflects the farm’s careful attention to well-rounded Hereford cattle.
