Amos & Jessi Viter

Amos & Jessi Viter raise Hereford cattle in Arnold, NE, in the Nebraska Sandhills near Grand Island. They have been breeding Herefords for over a decade and are members of the American Hereford Association with annual BVD and Johne’s testing on all breeding stock. Calves spend their first weeks alongside cows in rotational pasture systems and are introduced to farm routines early to develop confidence around machinery and people.

The operation builds on a family legacy dating to the 1950s, blending time-honored grazing methods with balanced feed programs. Breeding priorities include temperament, structural soundness and efficient weight gain on grass-based diets. Recent steers placed well at regional fairs, reflecting consistency in form and fitness. Herds graze year-round on native grasses supplemented with trace minerals, and the Viter family maintains low stocking densities to support animal health. Visitors note the clean pens, consistent records and the breeders’ patience during farm tours.
