Dustin Burco

Dustin Burco is a Hereford cattle breeder in Independence, IA, in Buchanan County and eastern Iowa near Cedar Rapids. The operation has over a decade of experience with Hereford cattle and maintains regular health screenings, hoof care, and follows recommended guidelines for vaccination and parasite prevention. Rotational grazing on native grasses and legumes sustains forage diversity and supports soil health, while animals graze by day and have barn shelter overnight to encourage group socialization.

Low-stress handling facilities, shaded water stations, and rotational grazing practices contribute to calf well-being and pasture health. Routine introduction to handling chutes and foot trimming helps calves develop familiarity with farm operations. Group weaning and gentle early handling encourage calm dispositions and confident temperaments. Recent calves have demonstrated consistent weight gains and even temperaments, reflecting balanced herd genetics. The farm’s approach to land stewardship and livestock care has become a hallmark of its breeding philosophy.
