Melissa Stogdill

Melissa Stogdill raises Hereford cattle in Bay City, WI, Pierce County and western Wisconsin near Minneapolis. She has been raising registered Hereford cattle for over a decade and holds memberships with national breed associations to support responsible breeding and health testing. All calves are born on pasture and rotated through well-managed grasslands and seasonal shelters, receiving daily handling to foster calm temperaments and prepare them for a variety of farm settings.

Her breeding program emphasizes maternal performance, balanced growth rates and structural soundness, drawing on lines noted for fertility and efficient weight gain. Local livestock producers often cite their reliable herd health and straightforward paperwork when sharing feedback about her operation’s consistency and care. The cattle benefit from round-the-clock access to clean water and secure shelter, with careful attention given to hydration, nutrition and monitoring for early signs of health concerns.
