22 Cattle Company

22 Cattle Company raises miniature hereford cattle in Orange City, IA, serving Sioux County and the northwest Iowa region near Sioux City. Craig Dehaan brings over a decade of experience to his miniature hereford herd, maintaining membership in recognized cattle breeders associations and following recommended health and genetic screenings.

The cattle are raised in pasture-based systems with daily handling from birth to support calm temperaments and receive a forage-first diet balanced with mineral supplements. Several of his cattle have earned acknowledgments at county fairs for their conformation and temperament. Routine visits coincide with herd health checks, offering a chance to observe the animals in their pasture environment. Paddocks rotate regularly to encourage fresh grazing, and in colder months the cattle shelter in roomy barns stocked with clean bedding. The operation follows sustainable land management practices, emphasizing soil health and rotational grazing that support herd well-being and environmental stewardship.
