Mullen Brothers

Mullen Brothers are Shorthorn cattle breeders in Rushford, MN, Southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. With more than twenty years in the field, they participate in the American Shorthorn Association and follow routine health testing for disease markers. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures managed for soil health, and calves are introduced to low-stress handling from an early age.

This family-run farm traces its roots to Robert John Mullen’s heritage in livestock care and often receives positive feedback for calm temperaments. Their focus on balanced diets and seasonal breeding aligns with sustainable practices while supporting sound genetics. Calving pens and open barns are arranged to minimize stress and encourage natural herd interactions. Each animal undergoes structural evaluations against Shorthorn standards before selection for breeding programs. Local visitors note the tranquil pace of grazing paddocks and the thoughtful design of water and feed stations.
