Alan Mcvay

Alan Mcvay breeds Shorthorn cattle in Beatrice, NE, in southeast Nebraska near Lincoln. He is a member of the American Shorthorn Association, conducts regular health screenings, and follows established breeding standards.

His cattle graze on native pastures with round-the-clock access to shelter, and calves receive early handling to foster gentle temperaments. Alan’s herd includes descendants of championship lines, known for hardy frames and balanced muscling. Past purchasers note steady growth rates and adaptable cattle well-suited for both grass and feedlot systems.

He emphasizes transparency in records and provides detailed pedigrees to every buyer. Regular veterinary visits, nutritional assessments and well-water testing support herd health, while calving decisions balance maternal traits with manageable birth weights. Facilities include a masonry barn with individual calving pens, shaded, ventilated loafing areas and fenced paddocks with secure perimeter fencing maintained for year-round rotational grazing, and a functional office for record-keeping.
