Marvin Beckman

Marvin Beckman breeds Hereford cattle in New Salem, ND, within Morton County and the Missouri River Valley near Bismarck. With over two decades in the business, he holds memberships in the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health testing protocols.

The herd grazes year-round on native grass pastures, and calves are gently introduced to handling routines. Animals live in well-ventilated barn stalls during winter months with constant access to hay and shelter. Weekly routines include early socialization, from halter training to group turnout among different age classes.

Customers often note the even temperaments and sturdy frames that come from this balanced approach. Marvin Beckman traces his interest in cattle back to childhood fairs, and the farm remains family run with a focus on sustainable grazing practices. Their bulls consistently earn high marks for feed efficiency and structure, reflecting steady selection rather than quick fixes.
