Brooke Hansen

Brooke Hansen is a breeder of purebred Shorthorn cattle in Laurel, NE, serving northeast Nebraska near Sioux City. With more than 15 years of experience and membership in the American Shorthorn Association, she implements comprehensive health-testing and genetic screening protocols to ensure soundness and temperament.

Her herd follows a rotational grazing schedule on well-managed pastures and receives regular veterinary health checks. Calves are handled gently from birth to foster early socialization and familiarity with farm operations. Animals shelter in open-sided barns through harsh weather and have year-round access to clean water and mineral supplements.

Hansen’s family farm heritage dates back three generations, and her stock has earned ribbons at county and state fairs. Buyers often note calm dispositions, steady gains, and a commitment to animal well-being. Breeding selections emphasize structural soundness, maternal traits, and adaptability to support sustainable herd performance.
