Walker Farms

Walker Farms, Simmental cattle, Zumbro Falls, MN, serves ranchers in Wabasha County and southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. It follows American Simmental Association guidelines with regular health screenings and genetic evaluations aimed at optimizing maternal strength, calving ease, and growth performance. Owned by a third-generation ranching family, it draws on decades of experience to maintain herd health and productivity.

Its herd grazes rotational pastures supplemented by high-quality hay and has year-round access to clean water and all-weather shelters. Calves receive daily handling and early socialization to foster calm temperaments and ease of management. A closed herd policy reduces disease risk and supports consistent genetics across generations.

Sustainable practices such as rotational grazing and manure management help preserve soil health and local ecosystems. The farm’s focus on feed efficiency and structural soundness yields cattle that adapt well to both commercial operations and family-run farms.
