In addition to the cow herd, the Delaney family sells embryos and farms 1,200 acres of corn and soybeans, along with 600 acres of hay and pasture.
The Delaney family has been raising quality registered Hereford cattle for more than 85 years, beginning with a Hereford heifer as Jerry’s dad Jack’s 4-H project in 1936. Delaney Herefords Inc. continued to build its herd and was officially established as a corporation by Jack in 1969. In addition to his AHA membership, Jerry is a lifetime member of the Minnesota Hereford Association (MHA) and has served as a director and president.
