Ashley Dittberner

Ashley Dittberner raises registered Hereford cattle in Battle Creek, NE, in the central Nebraska Sandhills near Grand Island. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for several years and register each calf with the American Hereford Association while following recommended health testing protocols. The herd grazes on rotational pastures and receives daily handling to foster a steady temperament.

Calving takes place in a sheltered barn designed to ensure comfort and safety for cows and newborns. Gentle handling and attention to structural soundness mean calves are well regarded for their sturdy build and calm disposition. Buyers often note the consistent quality of these cattle and the care taken at every stage of their development. Pastures are fenced to support wildlife movement and water comes from natural springs supplemented by frost free tanks. Herd health follows guidelines from the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, with regular veterinary visits year round on the property.
