Tyrel E Franklund

Tyrel E Franklund, Hereford cattle, Wilton, ND, operates in McLean County and the Missouri River Valley near Bismarck. Franklund follows American Hereford Association guidelines and comprehensive health testing for all breeding stock. The breeding program emphasizes genetic evaluation and temperament screening, aiming to produce cattle that perform reliably under pasture-based systems. Calves are raised on pasture and handled daily to foster calm temperaments.

Winter feeding takes place in a dedicated drylot facility with ample bedding and nutrition plans tailored to each stage of growth. The herd grazes on mixed-grass prairie, and mature cows rotate through well-managed pastures where access to clean water and shelter is ensured. The farm has been family owned for generations, focusing on structural soundness and docility suited for both seedstock and commercial herds. Regular herd evaluations and soil-friendly rotational grazing support animal health and sustainable land stewardship.
