Steck Cattle

Steck Cattle are breeders of Shorthorn cattle based in Woodstock, MN, serving southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. They follow American Shorthorn Association guidelines and maintain a closed herd with routine health screenings and traceable veterinary records for common herd diseases. Pasture rotation and sheltered loafing barns ensure calves gain early socialization and steady growth. As a farm with roots in family agriculture, their approach balances traditional husbandry with mindful herd management.

Their breeding choices focus on maternal traits and feed efficiency to offer cattle suited to family operations and small-scale producers. Nutrition plans are tailored by a certified livestock specialist to sustain herd health through seasonal changes. Steck Cattle welcomes respectful farm visits by appointment to help buyers understand their breeding practices and facilities. Their transparent record keeping includes calving dates, weight gain tracking and veterinary health certificates.
