Jason & Lori Brown

Jason & Lori Brown raise Hereford cattle in Dwight, Kansas, in the Flint Hills region near Topeka. The partnership brings over a decade of livestock management experience to their breeding program, following American Hereford Association guidelines and recommended health screenings.

Calving is carried out on open pastures using rotational grazing to promote forage diversity and animal wellbeing, while supplemental hay and mineral blends ensure nutritional balance. All calves are handled from birth to foster calm temperaments and efficient herd management. Housing is a combination of pasture-based turnout and protected shelter during extreme weather, reflecting their focus on comfort and animal health.

Through selective performance testing, the Browns aim for moderate frame size, calving ease and efficient feed conversion, prioritizing maternal traits and growth rates. Their efforts have produced cattle well-suited for both pasture and feedlot environments. Careful record-keeping and on-farm evaluations support consistent quality across each calf crop.
