Lauren May

Lauren May breeds Hereford cattle in Mineral Point, WI, Iowa County and southwestern Wisconsin near Madison. She has been raising registered Hereford cattle for over a decade and maintains registration with the American Hereford Association to uphold breed standards and health protocols.

Her cattle graze on fertile limestone pastures managed through rotational grazing, and calves are born seasonally in open fields with access to sheltered barns. Each animal undergoes routine veterinary screenings, including genetic health testing recommended for the breed, ensuring a robust and sound herd. Daily handling and early socialization help develop a calm temperament that carries into adulthood.

Her efforts have been recognized by area chefs and farmers markets for the balanced marbling and lean quality of her cattle. Her breeding program follows a seasonal calving schedule optimized for Wisconsin’s climate, supporting consistent growth and meat quality. Through careful selection and environmental stewardship, her farm contributes to sustainable agriculture in the region.
