Nelson Farms

Nelson Farms, Simmental cattle in Magnolia, Minnesota, serves Rock County in southwestern Minnesota near Sioux Falls. With several decades of Simmental breeding expertise and adherence to breed association standards, the farm maintains regular health testing, comprehensive vaccination schedules and rigorous genetic evaluations year-round.

Animals are raised on rotational pastures with consistent access to clean water and shelter, and early handling by family members encourages calm temperaments. Breeding selections prioritize structural soundness and strong maternal instincts, reflecting the farm’s commitment to balanced genetics.

Sustainable land management practices shape pasture maintenance and manure management across gently rolling fields. A dedicated calving barn offers protected space during the birthing season and supports prompt attention to newborn care. Clients frequently note the calves’ adaptability and gentle disposition in varied ranching environments. Participation in regional livestock exhibitions has highlighted several champion heifers bred on site.
