Washington Lake Cattle Company

Washington Lake Cattle Company raises Shorthorn cattle in Hamburg, MN, Carver County in Minnesota near Minneapolis. It participates in American Shorthorn Association programs and follows recommended health testing protocols for herd vitality. The operation emphasizes low-stress handling with regular hoof trimming and nutritional monitoring to support strong, healthy stock.

Calves are reared on open pasture with access to barn shelter and fresh water year-round, receiving daily human interaction to encourage gentle temperaments. A focus on rotational grazing enhances land stewardship alongside animal wellbeing, while structured breeding plans prioritize traits like maternal instincts and balanced conformation. Artificial insemination and natural service are used in tandem to maintain genetic diversity. This blend of traditional husbandry and modern practices yields cattle well-suited to both small-scale and commercial operations. Each animal undergoes regular veterinary evaluations and careful record-keeping to track growth and performance metrics.
