Schiefelbein Farms was started in 1955 by two city kids with a desire to raise the best beef possible and to do it as a family. Frank and Frosty have seen that dream come to fruition as they watched their boys grow and take part in farm life. As it stands now, “Grandma Frosty” and “Big Frank” have nine sons, 32 grand kids and 21 great grand kids. They have also grown the farm to the largest registered Angus operation in Minnesota and the 37th largest seedstock operation across all breeds. Frank and Frosty have kept it a purely family operation over their years of growth. Seven of their nine sons work at the farm full-time with the 8th still helping on weekends. Four grandchildren work for the operation full-time with more hoping to return after college. Throughout the years, Frank, Frosty and their boys have worked to improve the Angus breed and the cattle industry. As forward thinkers, the Schiefelbeins have been proponents of differentiating price based on the quality of the cattle. Frank believes that you don’t need to be a low-cost producer to be profitable. The Schiefelbeins are always moving forward whether it be keeping diligent records, implementing artificial insemination or offering a buyback program, they are focused on the future for their family operation.
