Katelin Young

Katelin Young and Nickolas Young raise Murray grey cattle in New Plymouth, Idaho, in Payette County near Boise. They are members of the American Murray grey association and follow recommended genetic and hoof health screenings for each animal. The Youngs have been breeding Murray grey cattle for over a decade, focusing on traits like efficient feed conversion and sound structure. Their cattle graze on rotational pasture, and calves are raised alongside herd mates under constant supervision to encourage early socialization.

The operation blends sustainable grazing practices on a 100-acre family farm that has supported local ranching traditions for generations. Calves are introduced to handling early, ensuring they are calm and accustomed to routine checks, which supports positive interactions and smoother transport. Clients note the consistent build and even-tempered nature of Murray grey cattle from the Youngs’ herd, reflecting the breeders’ commitment to balanced genetics and gentle handling.
