2GTHR Chianina

2GTHR Chianina, Chianina cattle, Polk City, IA, Polk County and central Iowa near Des Moines. Jerry and Jean Johnson have built a breeding program guided by American International Chianina Association standards and implement routine health testing for all animals. Their herd grazes on rotational pastures supplemented with balanced rations, and calves are introduced to gentle handling early to support steady growth and ease in herd integration.

A strong focus on structural soundness and calm temperament has led several animals to earn recognition at local livestock shows. Operating from 10461 NW Polk City Dr, the family-run operation balances modern husbandry practices with traditional values. Pedigree records are maintained through registry documentation, offering transparency to breeders interested in lineage and performance. Visitors often mention the cattle’s consistent condition and adaptability across changing Iowa seasons. Careful attention to calving ease supports the well-being of cows and their offspring.
