Regan & Tara Mcconnell

Regan & Tara Mcconnell raise Hereford cattle in Decorah, IA, serving Winneshiek County and the Driftless Area near Dubuque. They have been breeding Herefords for over two decades and hold active membership in the American Hereford Association, with all adults screened for common bovine health conditions. Their cattle graze on rotational pasture land, benefiting from daily monitoring and a herd-based social structure that encourages calm temperament.

Based on a family farm established in the 1960s, they prioritize sustainability and gentle handling from birth to sale. Their herd typically ranges fifty to seventy head, raised outdoors year-round with access to shelter during extreme weather. Local farmers appreciate their timely communication and thorough care instructions. Several of their heifers have placed at county fairs, reflecting consistent conformation and temperament suitable for both show rings and breeding programs. They also provide detailed health records with each animal, ensuring a smooth transition into pasture-based or feedlot systems.
