Katherine Mitrowski

Katherine Mitrowski raises Hereford cattle in Machias, NY, serving Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier near Buffalo. With years of hands-on experience, she follows breed club guidelines and conducts routine health screenings to monitor genetic health and structural soundness.

The cattle graze on rotational pasture systems, with access to open barns and wind-protected shelters, and calves receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. Herds are selected for balanced growth rates and ease of management, reflecting traits prized by family farms and commercial operations alike. Customers often comment on the steady weight gains and consistent hoof and coat condition that define her approach.

Calving seasons follow a spring-to-summer schedule that aligns with pasture growth and minimizes environmental stress. Vaccination and parasite control follow veterinary recommendations, and detailed records are maintained for transparency and herd health tracking. Animals presented at regional livestock shows have regularly earned ribbons for structural soundness and temperament.
