Amy Nieman

Amy Nieman is a Hereford cattle breeder in Beloit, WI, in Rock County near Madison. She participates in the American Hereford Association herdbook, follows expected progeny difference evaluations for growth traits and calving ease, and ensures herd sires undergo regular structural assessments.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to shade and shelter during harsh weather, and calves receive individualized care from birth, including early exposure to handling routines for gentle dispositions. Calves are handled gently to encourage calm temperaments and steady weight gain. Temperament and structural soundness are hallmarks of her program, qualities appreciated by neighboring farmers.

Routine health checks are conducted in partnership with a local large animal veterinarian to maintain herd wellbeing. Amy’s commitment to clear breeding records and steady herd development fosters trusting relationships with fellow cattle producers. The farm’s focus on conservation practices supports pasture health and sustainable forage management.
