Wade Minihan

Wade Minihan raises Hereford cattle in Wheaton, KS, on Ford County and the High Plains near Garden City. With more than 15 years of breeding experience, he participates in the American Hereford Association and follows its guidelines for genetic selection and performance testing. The family-run operation honors traditional herd management passed down through generations.

Each animal is born and raised on open pastures where rotational grazing and balanced mineral supplementation support steady growth. Regular veterinary exams and daily handling help develop calm temperaments and early adaptation to handling.

Wade focuses on traits such as calving ease and maternal instinct to ensure hardiness and longevity within the herd. Neighbors often comment on the even lines and quiet disposition of calves ready for weaning. Rolling grassland and spring-fed ponds offer natural watering sites while grazing diversity supports forage quality that contributes to the herd’s resilience.
