Abertees Clan

Abertees Clan raises Shorthorn cattle in Oneill, NE, in Holt County and the Sandhills near Norfolk. With years of breeding experience, it maintains membership in the American Shorthorn Association and follows registry guidelines with routine health testing for genetic soundness. Its herd grazes on native prairie grasses and seasonal hay, with calves handled from birth to build trust and confidence.

It operates from a century-old family ranch that blends traditional husbandry with modern pasture management. Clients often note the herd’s even temperament and strong maternal traits, making these cattle reliable additions for grass-based operations. Abertees Clan focuses on sustainable breeding practices aimed at durability, longevity and consistent performance across varied Nebraska conditions.

Pastures are rotated seasonally to preserve grass quality and provide access to fresh forage, and sheltered loafing areas protect the herd during harsh winter months. Calves remain with their dams until natural weaning to strengthen maternal bonds and support healthy weight gain.
