Pollestad Herefords

Pollestad Herefords, Hereford cattle, Taylor, ND, serve Stark County and the Badlands near Dickinson. The farm follows industry-recommended health screening protocols and maintains detailed breeding records in line with statewide standards. Their cattle graze on native grasslands, and calves receive daily hands-on care to encourage even temperament and resilience.

Selection emphasizes structural soundness and docility, qualities that ranchers in western North Dakota appreciate for both pasture work and exhibition. Ranch life on open North Dakota grassland fosters steady growth at each stage, and every animal is recorded for performance traits that support the long-term strength of the herd.

Early vaccination programs and rotational grazing help maintain herd health and preserve pasture quality. Pasture rotations on sandy loam soils mimic natural herd movements, supporting robust hoof and joint development. Ample shade and clean water sources are available throughout summer months, ensuring cattle comfort during seasonal temperature swings.
