Willow Creek Stock Farm

Willow Creek Stock Farm raises Shorthorn cattle in Verndale, MN, serving Wadena County and the Brainerd Lakes region near Brainerd. Since its founding, the farm has followed guidelines from the American Shorthorn Association and performs regular health testing on every animal. Herds graze on spring-fed pastures and are handled with low-stress techniques that support natural behavior and social development.

The farm’s focus on structural soundness and gentle temperament has earned appreciation from local beef producers. Robben Gene J cares for the herd year-round, offering a calm environment where cattle grow at their own pace. Operating from well-maintained facilities on a family-run homestead, Willow Creek Stock Farm emphasizes transparent breeding records and open communication with buyers.

Each animal receives personalized attention beginning with calves born on site, ensuring health and ease of transition to new owners. Ongoing participation in regional workshops and peer reviews helps the farm stay aligned with best practices for cattle welfare.
