Due to family changes, LSP members Don and Helen Berheim of west-central Minnesota's Swift County would like to pass on their exceptional closed herd of ¾ Low-line Angus cattle to a beginning farmer. The animals are all healthy, have not needed vaccines, are gentle and have been exclusively grass-fed in a rotational, chemical- free pasture operation. The Berheims are willing to sell small numbers or the entire herd (60 at time of listing), and are especially interested in getting people started in livestock. They are excited to support and mentor a new farmer in an ongoing relationship, and are willing to be creative with payment for the animals. They have deep conservation and social values and are offering a great opportunity for anyone new to cattle.
