Kirk Jensen

Kirk Jensen raises Hereford cattle in Courtland, KS, serving north-central Kansas near Salina.

The farm has been breeding Hereford cattle for several years and follows national breed registry standards to ensure genetic health and consistency. They perform routine health screenings, vaccination protocols and genetic testing for traits such as calving ease and feed conversion. Calves graze on open pastures surrounded by native grasses, with access to clean water and shelter in well-ventilated barns during harsh weather. Early socialization and gentle, regular handling help the young stock develop calm temperaments and prepare them for various farm settings.

As a family-run operation, Kirk Jensen emphasizes sustainable land stewardship through rotational grazing and soil conservation practices, which benefit both animals and the surrounding ecosystem. The selection process focuses on temperament and structural soundness, producing bulls and heifers that adapt well to commercial ranches and smaller-scale farms. This thoughtful approach has earned positive feedback from local ranchers interested in reliable, even-tempered herds suited for grass-fed beef production.
