welcome

	Bollum Family Shorthorns is a 5th generation family farm located east of Goodhue, Minnesota where the original Bollum’s settled in 1863. Shorthorns were used here from the very beginning because of their dual purpose traits. A pure beef herd was started in the late 1930’s as Henry and Curtiss began showing purebred cattle as part of their 4-H projects. The cattle operation today consists of 75 purebred Shorthorn females and 40 commercial females used as recipients in our Embryo Transplant program. While our careers take us away from the farm during the week, our father continues to manage the day-to-day cattle and cropland responsibilities. Weekends are busy as the rest of the family comes back home to farm. Our collective goal has been to produce sound, functional cattle that will be profitable for purebred and commercial cattlemen alike.
