5H Herefords LLC

5H Herefords LLC raises Hereford breeding stock and beef cattle in Humboldt, IA, north-central Iowa near Des Moines. It follows recognized breed association standards for selection, maintains regular health testing for genetic conditions, and keeps detailed pedigree records. Its cattle graze on rotational pasture across rolling fields, gaining early exposure to forage diversity and consistent handling.

The herd is managed under a system that balances traditional ranching practices with modern welfare guidelines to support a gentle disposition, predictable performance, and robust health. Calves spend time in open paddocks and sheltered pens, encouraging strong bone development, improved feed efficiency, and social cohesion. Feeding programs include supplemental minerals matched to soil profiles common in the region.

Each animal exhibits the breed’s characteristic white face and deep red coat, reflecting generations of careful selection. Its stock is well suited to both small-scale farms and larger ranch operations.
