K Heart Cattle

K Heart Cattle is a Hereford cattle breeder in Ivanhoe, Minnesota, in Southwest Minnesota prairie region near Sioux Falls. They follow established herd-health protocols with regular veterinary checks, parasite management, and genomic screening for inherited traits. Membership in the American Hereford Association complements their multi-generational knowledge and ensures compliance with breed standards. Established decades ago, the ranch has been managed by three family generations and remains rooted in traditional practices.

Calves graze on rotational pastures under attentive care, promoting low-stress handling, early social bonds, and resilience to seasonal weather changes. Balanced forage mixes and seasonal shelters ensure cattle comfort through Minnesota winters. The family-run ranch balances traditional stewardship with sustainable grazing practices that support local ecosystems and community agriculture events. Their herd selection focuses on structural soundness and temperament suited for both beef production and landscape management, with some offspring recognized at regional livestock shows.
