LJ Herefords

LJ Herefords, Hereford cattle, Donnelly, MN, is located in Beltrami County and the northern Minnesota lakes region near Bemidji. For over a decade, the herd has been registered with the American Hereford Association and each animal undergoes routine veterinary checks along with genetic and fertility evaluations.

The cattle graze on open pastures under a rotational system, receive balanced feed blends, and access clean water year-round. Daily handling practices and secure calving pens help ensure calves develop calm temperaments from birth. Sustainable pasture management and basic biosecurity measures support herd health and soil conservation.

Emphasis on structural soundness and even temperaments suits their Herefords for both show rings and commercial beef operations. Barn shelters and well-maintained fencing provide comfort and safety through the winter months in the northern Minnesota landscape. The farm’s mixed-grass pastures and hay fields also provide forage diversity for optimal rumen health.
