Aurora Pharmaceutical America Made Innovation

Aurora Pharmaceutical Innovation that is Homegrown for America’s Producers

In the heart of Minnesota, where agriculture and animal husbandry are woven into the fabric of daily life, a small-town company is helping shape the future of animal health. Aurora Pharmaceutical, founded by veterinarian Dr. Mike Strobel, has been serving the livestock and veterinary industries with a simple but powerful mission: deliver high-quality animal health products that perform – without compromising value.

Since opening its doors, Aurora Pharmaceutical has grown steadily while staying true to its core values. As a company built by a veterinarian for veterinarians and producers, Aurora understands firsthand the challenges ranchers and livestock managers face. The company’s commitment to developing and manufacturing effective, affordable animal health solutions, all proudly made in the USA, is driven by that understanding.

Veterinarian-Led Rancher Focused

Dr. Strobel’s deep roots in veterinary medicine and agriculture helped shape Aurora’s unique approach to product development. As both a founder and current CEO, he continues to lead with the producer in mind. His philosophy is straightforward: farmers and ranchers need reliable, proven products they can trust to protect their herds – without having to pay a premium price.

Dr. Strobel says, “Inflation should not drive animal health.”

“We built Aurora to bridge that gap – to give producers access to the quality they expect at a price that makes sense for their operation.”

This vision has earned Aurora Pharmaceutical a respected place among cattle producers, veterinarians, and distributors alike. Whether it’s for routine herd health or more targeted interventions, the company offers a line of proprietary and generic equivalent animal health products formulated and manufactured to the same rigorous standards as their brand-name counterparts.

Manufacturing Value-Driven Excellence

One of Aurora’s key differentiators lies in its commitment to domestic manufacturing. All of Aurora’s products are made in America – directly out of the company’s own continually growing, state-of-the-art facility in Northfield, Minnesota. This local control not only ensures consistency and quality, but it also supports American jobs and allows for quicker response times to changing market needs.

By offering high quality alternatives to popular animal health treatments, Aurora allows producers to stretch their veterinary budgets without sacrificing effectiveness or safety. From antibiotics and antiparasitics to nutritional supplements and topical treatments, each product has the backing of the rigorous quality assurance protocols and a team that understands the needs of the livestock industry from the inside out.

Partnering With Producers for a Stronger Future

Aurora isn’t just a pharmaceutical company – it’s a partner to the producers who form the backbone of American agriculture. The company prides itself on long-term relationships with customers, distributors, and veterinary professionals across the country.

“We don’t just sell products,” says Dr. Strobel. “We’re here to support our producers, help them solve problems, and ensure they’ve got what they need to keep their operations healthy and productive.”

With an ever-expanding product portfolio and an unwavering commitment to quality, Aurora continues to grow without losing sight of its roots. Every decision the company makes, from product development to packaging, they design it with the end user in mind. That’s why so many ranchers have come to rely on the Aurora name.

A Trusted Name in American Animal Health

In an industry where trust is everything, Aurora Pharmaceutical has built its reputation on integrity, quality, and value. As the landscape of animal health evolves, one thing remains certain: Aurora is here for the long haul, standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who raise America’s livestock.

Ross explains, “BRD in the industry is a huge, huge dollar section out of our industry. It’s a $10 billion expense to our beef industry.” Ross goes on to say, “We really wanted to work our way into a program where we can start identifying some beef genetics that were resistant to BRD. So, in 2015 we started that process.”

Producer Profile: Hoover Angus

Another Producer Profile takes a look at Hoover Angus, founded in 1928. The southern Iowa farm is run with the collaboration of multiple generations. They’re living the dream which a lot of us strive for.

Lindy explains, “Hoover Angus is focused on genetics that are going to make the commercial cattlemen profitable.” Lindy uses the example of their bull “Hoover Dam”. “He was a bull that you could retain daughters out of that were functional, productive, and long-lasting. That’s what we’re about. We really focus our program on docility, good temperament cattle, calving ease, and cattle with a high growth rate.”

Hoover Angus has spring and fall sales at their Hoover Angus Sale Facility in Southern Iowa. Depending on the sale, they could be selling bred heifers, bulls, or other registered Angus. They give more details about their farm and genetics in the full conversation with Gail and Chap on the American Cattlemen Podcast.

Producer Profile: Drake Simmental

Flint Drake with Drake Simmental of Centerville, Iowa, shares with us their story about their roots and how their farm changed into their current-day farming operation. You can’t help but become invested in Flint Drake’s story.

“It’s been close to 80 years that we’ve been selling bulls off the farm, and then around 1970 or so Dad got into Simmentals,” Flint states. Part of Drake Simmental’s roots come from raising competitive show cattle. Flint explains, “I think we had 40 state fair grand and reserve champions and eight national grand and reserve champions. We were a premier exhibitor at Denver three times.” The operation didn’t lose its focus from bulls though. “We were always focusing on selling bulls, that never went away.”  Flint elaborates, “The real cattle business is raising genetics that maximizes the quality and value of beef.

Listen to Flint Drake walk you through the humble beginnings from a covered wagon, to their present-day operation. Several of his family members are involved in cattle, and Flint talks about their bull genetics and bull sales. This podcast, along with many more can be found on our website, or on most podcast platforms. These podcasts are a valuable resource for anyone interested in the cattle industry and its future.
