Mendell Cattle

Mendell Cattle, Miniature Hereford breeder in Vinita, OK, raises a herd in Craig County and northeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa. Paul Mendell has built his program with careful selection of bloodlines and follows industry-standard health testing and vaccination schedules. Cattle graze on rotational pastures managed for nutrition and welfare, and calves are handled gently from an early age to foster calm temperaments.

Miniature Hereford cattle suit small-scale farms and family operations with their sturdy builds and steady dispositions. The operation draws on local livestock traditions, with infrastructure that includes custom shelters and forage diversity planning. Mendell Cattle partners with area veterinarians to monitor herd health year-round and adapts care strategies to seasonal changes. This hands-on approach reflects Paul Mendell’s commitment to responsible stewardship and community ranching values. He participates in annual regional agricultural livestock events to share breeding insights and collaborate with fellow ranchers.
