River Trails Mini-Herefords

River Trails Mini-Herefords is a breeder of miniature Herefords in The Dalles, OR, north central Oregon near Portland. Owner Tai Rogers brings over a decade of experience and participates in registry programs to ensure all cattle meet recommended health and conformation standards.

The herd grazes on managed pasture with shelter available year-round, and calves are introduced to family routines from their first weeks to support calm temperament and ease of handling. Daily care includes individual health monitoring and socialization with livestock guardian dogs to foster resilience and trust.

Their focus on maternal strength and uniform build draws praise from local livestock managers, who value the cattle’s steady disposition and adaptability. Prospective buyers often note the detailed pedigree records available for each animal, reflecting the farm’s commitment to transparency and quality breeding. With a relatively small herd size, the farm is able to provide personalized care and maintain clear genetic lines.
