Nohner Herefords

Nohner Herefords, Hereford cattle, Watkins, MN, serves Stearns County and the central Minnesota region near St. Cloud. The farm builds on decades of family experience, registers stock with the American Hereford Association, and includes routine veterinary checkups and vaccinations for common bovine health issues. Animals graze on rotational pastures with a forage-based diet supplemented by free-choice minerals and early handling to promote calm temperaments. The breeding program emphasizes structural integrity, balanced muscling, calving ease, and maternal traits for reliable performance across operations.

Set on a pasture-based ranch, Nohner Herefords allows calves to nurse alongside their dams during early development, with rotational grazing that supports grassland health. Detailed performance records for growth, fertility, and longevity help guide selection, while regular handling during turnout fosters well-adjusted animals suited for small-scale or expanding herds. One producer noted consistent growth patterns and sound feet and legs, reflecting the farm’s steady approach to herd improvement.
