BNR Cattle

BNR Cattle raise Chianina cattle in Bernard, IA, serving eastern Iowa near Cedar Rapids. The farm has been registering cattle for over a decade with the American Chianina Association and follows industry standard health screening for calving ease and structural soundness. Its Chianina herd grazes on open pastures with shade and shelter available year round, and calves are handled gently from birth to promote calm temperaments.

Owners Robert and Ron Kenneally draw on a family tradition of livestock stewardship to maintain a low stress environment for their cattle. The Kenneallys prioritize sound conformation and a quiet disposition, qualities that have earned positive feedback from local ranchers. Lineage and growth metrics are recorded meticulously, reflecting the farm’s full commitment to transparency. Animals are selected with an emphasis on muscle development and feed efficiency, traits appreciated in both breeding and beef programs.
