Red Oak Farms

Red Oak Farms breeds Hereford cattle in Detroit Lakes, MN, Becker County and the lakes region near Fargo. The farm has been registered with the American Hereford Association for over ten years and its herds undergo regular health screenings including fertility and genetic tests. Calves are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage gentle temperaments and mothers graze on rotational paddocks to maintain pasture health.

Family-oriented farming practices at Red Oak Farms span three generations and emphasize soil stewardship alongside animal welfare. Local feedback highlights the herd’s calm behavior and sturdy build, reflecting the care taken at every stage of upbringing. Breeding goals prioritize structural soundness and maternal aptitude, guided by performance records and sire selection.

During winter months cattle move into ventilated barns with straw bedding and free choice hay to support growth and well-being. Pasture rotation safeguards grass regrowth and reduces parasite load naturally.
