Dunk Cattle Co

Dunk Cattle Co is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Wayne, NE, serving Wayne County and northeast Nebraska near Omaha. Its family-operated herd draws on local ranching traditions developed over more than 25 years of selective breeding under American Shorthorn Association guidelines. Animals undergo regular health screenings, routine vaccinations and quarterly hoof trimming, and many offspring are registered with national breed associations.

Cattle graze on a mix of native grasses and irrigated pastures, rotating across fenced paddocks to promote balanced foraging and sturdy hooves. Calves experience early handling and barn acclimation, helping them transition smoothly to new environments and easing herd introductions. Many buyers note the calm temperament and sound conformation of the cattle, which perform well in both small-scale homesteads and commercial herds. Dunklau Ryan manages winter feeding in enclosed loafing areas and supplements diets with trace minerals, aiming for consistent growth and reproductive success each season.
