Spencer Baker

Spencer Baker is a Hereford cattle breeder in Rochester, MN, serving Southeastern Minnesota near Minneapolis. The farm has raised registered Hereford cattle for over a decade under guidelines of the American Hereford Association and follows regular health screenings for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease. Animals graze on rotational pastures and are handled daily, fostering calm temperaments suited to both show and herd management.

The operation began as a family homestead more than three generations ago, blending tradition with attention to modern husbandry. Herd sires come from bloodlines with documented longevity and maternal strength, and heifers receive individual attention from weaning through breeding age. Feedback from local buyers often highlights the cattle’s consistent performance on grass-based rations and uniform conformation.

Spencer Baker’s approach emphasizes low-stress handling with frequent herd health evaluations and shelter access in inclement weather. The farm supports local agricultural fairs and offers ongoing mentorship for beginning cattlemen, reflecting a commitment to community stewardship.
