Richard And Janette Dohlman

Richard And Janette Dohlman raise registered Hereford cattle in Le Roy, Minnesota, serving Mower County and southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. Their herd is enrolled with the American Hereford Association and follows a health program including fertility evaluations and calf respiratory assessments.

The couple practices rotational grazing on open pastures and provides calves daily gentle handling to encourage consistent temperaments and smooth weaning. As members of the local extension network, they host seasonal farm tours and youth workshops, giving visitors insight into breeding decisions and animal husbandry. Their breeding program emphasizes maternal traits, documented growth performance and structural soundness, guided by years of careful record keeping. A family operation spanning multiple generations, the farm carries forward a legacy of practical knowledge and steady improvements in genetic selection. They collaborate with veterinary specialists to monitor herd health and administer vaccinations against common clostridial diseases.
