Devon Benes

Devon Benes is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Valparaiso, NE, on the family-owned rolling grasslands of eastern Nebraska near Omaha. Devon Benes has raised Hereford cattle for over fifteen years and maintains full herd registration through recognized national breed associations.

Routine veterinary inspections and genetic health screenings help ensure soundness and vigor in every generation, while detailed performance records guide ongoing improvement. Calves are born on open pasture and remain with their dams until they adapt fully to grass feeding. Daily handling from a young age fosters a calm demeanor that carries through feeding and transport.

The family-managed farm balances tradition with careful record keeping to support sustainable pasture rotations and respectful husbandry. Visitors often note the clean, well-maintained facilities and appreciate the openness to discuss welfare practices. Through measured growth and attention to detail, each calf is prepared to meet the expectations of modern ranchers.
