Menke Polled Herefords

Menke Polled Herefords is a Hereford cattle breeder in Morrowville, KS, serving Republic County in north-central Kansas near Salina. They follow recommended health screenings for calving ease, weaning weight and breed-specific tests approved by the American Hereford Association and maintain records to track performance across generations. Biosecurity measures and low-stress handling techniques support a healthy, resilient herd and consistent growth across varied seasons. Calves graze open pastures with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments before turnout, with seasonal rotations to fresh paddocks.

Their herd features bloodlines valued for strong maternal traits and efficient feed conversion. Cattle rotate through managed pastures and access sheltered loafing pens overnight, with a winter feeding program that relies on locally sourced alfalfa and grass hay. Local reviews highlight a patient disposition and sturdy build that suit both commercial and small-scale operations. Their approach blends time-honored ranching methods with careful attention to individual animal welfare.
