Mettler Polled Herefords

Mettler Polled Herefords is a Hereford cattle breeder in Menno, South Dakota, serving southeastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. The farm has been managed by the same family for three generations and adheres to American Hereford Association and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association standards. Genetic testing, regular veterinary checks and calving assessments ensure each calf meets established health protocols.

Cattle graze on open pasture beside a renovated barn, and weaned calves are grouped to promote early socialization in a low stress environment. Rotational grazing cycles boost forage health and support natural behaviors throughout the year. Several herd sires have performance testing records, and offspring have placed at state fairs and youth livestock shows. Clients appreciate clear communication on breeding schedules, transparent health histories and steady year-round availability of weaned calves. The operation combines hands-on care with established herd traditions to maintain a reliable source of polled Hereford cattle suited for both commercial herds and 4-H projects.
