Mickelson Farm

Mickelson Farm raises Hereford cattle in Lyndon, KS, in the Flint Hills near Topeka. It draws on a family tradition spanning multiple decades while following American Hereford Association guidelines and maintaining routine herd health testing and vaccinations.

Its cattle graze freely on native bluestem and switchgrass pastures, and calves receive daily gentle handling to build calm temperaments before leaving the farm. The farm’s century-old red barn stands at the heart of rolling grasslands, hosting every stage of growth from early calfhood to yearling development. Community members often praise the farm’s sustainable grazing routines, careful land stewardship, and clear communication about feeding and management practices. Every animal benefits from rotational grazing plans that support soil health, help control parasites, and promote consistent weight gains. Seasonal farm visits offer new owners a chance to learn hands-on about pasture management and animal wellness in a welcoming setting.
