Nicolaisen Family Farm

Nicolaisen Family Farm breeds Hereford cattle in Sandown, NH, serving Rockingham County near Manchester. They have been raising cattle on their family-run farmland for over fifteen years, following American Hereford Association standards and maintaining regular vet health testing including parasite control and genetic screening, and participating in regional workshops. The herd is pasture-raised throughout the growing season with rotational grazing to encourage natural foraging and muscle development, and animals are given access to open-sided shelters to move freely.

Calves are reared alongside adult cows to promote early socialization and gentle handling, with custom mineral blends added to winter feed made from local hay. Several herd members have earned recognition at county agricultural fairs for conformation and temperament. The farm’s long history in sustainable grazing practices and selective breeding reflects a commitment to herd health, environmental stewardship and the reliable qualities of Hereford cattle.
