Kropf's Beefalo Farm

Kropf's Beefalo Farm breeds Beefalo in Newaygo, Michigan, West Michigan near Grand Rapids. Keith and Marcia Kropf have been raising Beefalo for more than 15 years and participate in recognized breed registries while following recommended health screening for their herd.

They follow guidelines from the state agricultural extension service and schedule regular veterinary health screenings for every animal. Their cattle graze on diverse pastures and calves grow up within a family-oriented setting that emphasizes gentle handling and early socialization. Calves are weaned gradually to promote healthy growth and a smooth transition to pasture life.

The farm’s rotational grazing plan promotes soil health and supports sustainable land management. Visitors note the calm temperament of their animals and value the farm’s openness about breeding goals and husbandry practices. Occasional guided sessions for students and local groups highlight sustainable beefalo stewardship and husbandry.
