Rose Acres

Rose Acres, Shorthorn cattle, Winnebago, MN, operates a family-owned breeding farm in southern Minnesota near Mankato. Stephenie Rose has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade and maintains memberships in national and regional livestock associations. All cows undergo annual health screenings, including genetic evaluations and veterinary inspections, with calving taking place on well-drained paddocks outfitted with weatherproof shelters.

Rose Acres emphasizes low-stress herd handling, early calf socialization with gentle daily interactions, and rotational grazing to promote forage diversity and soil health. The farm’s mix of permanent fence pastures and portable paddocks allows efficient land rotation and supports cattle well-being throughout Minnesota’s distinct seasons.

Their cattle have earned ribbons at local county fairs for balanced conformation and gentle disposition, reflecting a blend of tradition and careful selection. Breeding stock is supplied to neighboring farms, backed by pedigree records and consistent performance data to ensure quality genetics across herds.
