Soggy Bottom Ranch

Soggy Bottom Ranch, Simmental cattle, Aitkin, MN, Aitkin County and the north-central Minnesota region near Duluth. With a history rooted in selective breeding and American Simmental Association membership, the ranch conducts health screenings and genetic evaluations to support sturdy calves with calm temperaments.

Its focus on sound structure and temperament reflects a long-standing commitment to sustainable cattle farming. It partners with a local veterinarian for routine check-ups and follows a tailored vaccination and deworming schedule to promote herd health. Access to clean water and seasonal shelters in every paddock supports the herd through changing weather.
