Michael E Kitchell is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Ada, MN, Norman County and northwest Minnesota near Fargo. He follows established breed standards and partners with local veterinarians for herd wellness, including routine vaccinations and health screenings. Drawing on years of hands-on livestock experience, he selects for sturdy conformation and calm temperament. His herd management emphasizes genetic soundness, balanced nutrition, and sustainable pasture practices adapted to regional grazing conditions.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures throughout the year and seek shelter in a barn outfitted with straw bedding during colder months. Calves are socialized early through daily handling, group pasture time, and regular exposure to family activities, nurturing ease of movement and familiarization with farm routines. Each cow calf pair receives personalized attention during weaning to support a smooth transition. This steady approach has earned positive feedback from area farmers seeking dependable breeding stock.
