Bevan Lawrence Gradig

Bevan Lawrence Gradig, Hereford cattle, Bison, KS, Rush County near Wichita. Bevan Lawrence Gradig is a family-run breeder with more than 20 years of experience raising Hereford cattle under American Hereford Association guidelines, and all offspring are registered. Their herd undergoes routine health screenings, including Johne’s disease testing and BVD screening, plus vaccination programs overseen by local veterinarians. Animals graze on native grass pastures and calves receive early socialization with farm hands and neighboring families, then are gently weaned at seven months following a gradual transition to hay and silage diets.

This operation follows rotational grazing practices to maintain pasture health and support natural foraging behaviors. Winter shelters are provided in a climate-controlled barn equipped with deep-bedded stalls and accessible feed racks. Several cattle have earned favorable conformation evaluations at county fairs, reflecting steady commitment to structural soundness and temperament. Visitors are welcomed by appointment to learn about multi-generational breeding practices and sustainable grass-finished beef production.
