Our Story - The Kagel Family

We got married in 2012 and bought a place in the country on 2 acres. While growing up with livestock, we knew we had to have something on those 2 acres. After much time researching and talking to many Miniature Hereford Breeders from all over, we knew this was the direction we wanted to go. In 2014 with a newborn baby in the back seat, we headed out to purchase our first three bred and registered Miniature Hereford Cows, and fell in love. Within 3 years we had two young boys and five cows. It was time to move into a bigger house with a bigger pasture. Now in a bigger house sitting on 26 acres with 8 registered cows, we have established where we want to be. The Miniature Hereford market here in Illinois is trailing some neighboring states, however we believe it is going to develop suddenly, very soon, and are excited for it! We love meeting new people from all around the country and can't wait to help you start or continue your journey in the Miniature Hereford industry.
