Robyn Mrnak

Robyn Mrnak breeds Hereford cattle in Bowman, ND, in southwest North Dakota near Bismarck. Robyn has been raising Hereford cattle for several years with guidance from national breeding associations and regular health screenings.

Animals graze on rotational pastures to encourage natural foraging, and each calf is gently introduced to handler interaction from a young age. As a family-run operation, the herd lives in open-shelter barns that offer space for group rest and protection from harsh weather. Their cattle are often shown at regional fairs, reflecting careful selection for temperament and maternal strength that benefits both farm life and breeding quality.

Each animal undergoes routine vaccinations and wellness checks by a local vet, with individualized nutrition plans to support steady growth and robust health. Detailed records track lineage, calving history and growth metrics, helping to preserve the breed’s characteristic red-and-white markings and reliable maternal instincts.
