M&B Miniature Herefords

M&B Miniature Herefords raises Hereford cattle in Bear River City, UT. Located in Box Elder County and the Great Salt Lake region near Salt Lake City, the farm has focused on breeding for gentle temperament over the past ten years and participates in American Hereford Association health and genetic programs.

Calves graze on rotational pastures and spend their early weeks alongside mature cows to encourage natural social behavior. Regular handling by family members supports calm temperaments, making these cattle well suited for small acreage operations. Breeding stock undergoes veterinarian-recommended vaccination schedules, hoof trimming, and genetic testing for structural soundness. Their experience and commitment to responsible husbandry help maintain herd health and consistent calf quality each season.

Feeding protocols emphasize balanced native grasses and monitored grain supplements to support steady growth without excess weight. Winter housing in insulated barns with deep bedding helps maintain energy levels during colder months. Ongoing selection focuses on sound feet and easy calving to support long-term herd viability.
