Vogel Shorthorn Farm

Vogel Shorthorn Farm, Shorthorn cattle, Rogers, ND, north-central North Dakota near Grand Forks. Justin and Whitney Vogel maintain a herd that adheres to American Shorthorn Association guidelines, undergoes routine genetic and herd health screening, and engages with local producer networks.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures and have continuous access to shelter, while regular handling from birth helps develop calm temperaments. Pasture diversity and forage quality are monitored to support year-round nutrition. Breeding selections include performance-tested sires chosen for efficiency and temperament across diverse farming systems. Calving seasons are scheduled to align with pasture growth, and newborn calves receive individualized care including colostrum management and early health checks.

Drawing on a family farming tradition, the Vogels emphasize maternal strength and consistent calf vigor suitable for both beef and show purposes. Their approach reflects a balance of practical husbandry and careful breed maintenance.
