Delaney Cattle

Delaney Cattle raises Hereford cattle in Valentine, NE, and operates within Cherry County and the Nebraska Sandhills near North Platte. It has been breeding Hereford for over fifteen years, maintains comprehensive herd records and uses DNA profiling recommended by the American Hereford Association to support genetic integrity.

Regular veterinary screenings, parasite control and a balanced feeding program tailored to each life stage support strong growth and reproductive health. Calves enjoy early socialization through daily handling routines, group pasture time with adult cattle and gentle, low-stress interactions. Its herd thrives on rotational grazing across native prairie grasses, which protects soil quality, promotes biodiversity and encourages natural foraging behaviors.

It avoids unnecessary antibiotics, minimizes grain supplements and emphasizes grass-fed finishing to produce leaner carcass composition. Several of its bulls and heifers have earned top ribbons at county livestock shows and feeder championships across the region. It schedules on-farm tours by appointment to provide prospective buyers with a transparent look at breeding selection criteria, performance records and sustainability practices.
