Abertees

Abertees is a Chianina cattle breeder in Oneill, NE, Holt County and the Nebraska Sandhills near Norfolk. Owner Malaine Strope has been raising Chianina cattle with a focus on sound genetics and herd health, and the herd participates in registry programs with the American Chianina Association. Routine veterinary evaluations and structured health protocols ensure each animal meets breed standards from birth.

Pasture-based grazing and gentle handling are central to Abertees breeding philosophy. Calves are socialized from an early age and accustomed to family farm life, which contributes to their calm temperament and adaptability. The 120-acre ranch offers rolling grasslands and sheltered paddocks, supporting natural behaviors and encouraging robust growth. Selection is guided by performance records and conformation, with emphasis on lean muscle and efficient feed conversion. Many animals from Abertees herds have been noted for quiet disposition and strong maternal instincts.
