Dustin Kranawetter

Dustin Kranawetter, Hereford cattle breeder in Cape Girardeau, MO, raises a family herd on pastureland in Southeast Missouri near St. Louis. He maintains membership in national cattle associations such as the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health protocols, including regular veterinary checks, disease screening, and genetic evaluations.

His cattle develop on rotational grazing systems, with attention to low-stress handling and open-sided barns that offer year-round shelter. Local farmers note a consistent build and calm temperament throughout the herd. The pasture-focused approach supports sustainable land management and grass-fed conditioning, reducing stress at every stage.

The operation’s transparent breeding records and careful selection aim to produce well-muscled, healthy calves suited to varied farm settings. Birth weights and growth metrics are documented for each calf, providing transparent data on performance. Seasonal visits provide a view of herd health practices and pasture management methods in action.
