Rheault Farms

Rheault Farms raises Hereford cattle in Lake Linden, MI, serving Houghton County and the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. The farm has been breeding Hereford cattle for more than 20 years, is a member of the American Hereford Association, and follows recommended health screening for temperament and genetic traits. They introduce calves to daily handling early on and rotate pastures throughout the season to ensure steady access to fresh forage.

During cold northern winters, herds move to sheltered paddocks with dry bedding and heated waterers for extra comfort. The herd’s easygoing temperament lends itself to both family-run homesteads and rural hobby farms. Breeding programs emphasize calving ease and strong maternal traits, with retained heifers forming the core of the herd. Many animals have earned ribbons at local fairs, reflecting a consistent focus on structure and soundness. Visitors often remark on the farm’s relaxed pace and the clear bond between growers and their cattle.
