7S Schwedhelm Ranch LLC

7S Schwedhelm Ranch LLC is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Fort Calhoun, NE, in eastern Nebraska near Omaha. It participates in national breed registry programs and follows recommended health screening protocols to maintain genetic integrity and herd well-being. The herd grazes on open pasture under a rotational plan with daily low-stress handling to encourage steady weight gain and calm dispositions.

The ranch’s breeding philosophy balances marbling quality with maternal traits, selecting for strong udder health, temperament, and ease of calving. Calves remain with their dams through weaning to promote natural development before joining carefully managed rotational grazing systems that nurture robust growth. The ranch incorporates cover crops and soil testing into its pasture management to support forage diversity and long-term sustainability. Many local beef producers often note the consistent health and temperament that characterize 7S Schwedhelm Ranch’s cattle. The family-owned operation emphasizes hands-on care and transparent practices in every aspect of ranch management.
