Donated by Carlson Cattle, of Lamberton, Minn.
Carlson Cattle was founded in 2018 at the Minnesota Beef Expo, when twin brothers Ethan and Jayden were both awarded MYBEP heifers. Ethan was granted the Shorthorn heifer and Jayden received the Symposium heifer. Little did Jayden know that this program would lead to what he has today.
From a very young age, Jayden knew he wanted to raise cattle back on the family farm. It’s where his grandpa raised registered Shorthorns under the name Mulberry Lane Shorthorns, and where his Aunt Cathy and Uncle Dennis have their operation today.
Carlson Cattle is a small, multi-breed herd with a focus on providing show-quality projects for 4-H and FFA youth, and breeding stock through private treaty. Youth development has always been a focus for Ethan and Jayden. They feel there is no better way to achieve this than through the MYBEP program!
