Mendel Hereford Ranch

Mendel Hereford Ranch is a Hereford cattle breeder in Covington, OK, in Washington County and northeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa. It has been focused on sound genetics, maintaining health testing for breeding stock and tracking pedigrees through established programs. Calves benefit from early socialization alongside their mothers and grow up on rotating pastures designed to support natural foraging and exercise.

The ranch follows traditional ranching methods alongside modern animal husbandry standards. Its facilities include sheltered barns and ample grazing land, allowing cattle to thrive in both open fields and covered areas. The ranch embraces practices passed down through generations to ensure the well-being and resilience of each herd. Their approach balances pasture-based grazing with careful nutrition planning, while rainwater collection and shaded loafing areas maintain comfort during summer heat. Regular veterinary checkups and coordinated vaccination schedules are part of the routine care.
