Wolf Creek Corrientes

Wolf Creek Corrientes is a small-scale family-operated breeder of Corriente cattle in Gatzke, MN, northwest Minnesota near Thief River Falls. Established by Gary and Jackie Simmons over two decades ago, the farm holds membership with the American Corriente Association and follows comprehensive health testing protocols to support breed integrity and genetic diversity.

The herd grazes on mixed-grass prairie pastures, and calves are raised alongside mature cows to encourage natural social development. Attention to low-stress handling and pasture rotation supports both animal well-being and land stewardship. A history in sustainable ranching influences their day-to-day care, and several offspring have earned ribbons at regional fair shows. Their feeding regimen includes mineral-fortified salt licks and rotational grazing to promote optimal muscle tone and resilience. Clients often note the calm disposition and hardiness of the cattle, reflecting long-term selection for adaptation to Minnesota's seasons.
