Earl Henderson & Sons

Earl Henderson & Sons raise Hereford cattle in Alliance, NE, in Box Butte County and the Nebraska Panhandle near Denver. They maintain membership in the American Hereford Association, conduct regular genetic evaluations and follow recommended testing for bovine viral diarrhea, Johne’s disease, and other herd health concerns. The herd grazes on open pastures with rotational management, complemented by a diet formulated from local hay and mineral supplements, and calves benefit from daily outdoor time and gentle, low-stress handling.

This family-run operation spans three generations of stewardship, blending modern breeding insights with long-standing ranching traditions to emphasize docile temperament, structural soundness and ease of calving. Animals live in well-ventilated barns equipped with clean bedding and have access to shelter during extreme weather, supporting robust health and steady growth rates throughout the year. Their cattle often appear at county fairs and agricultural showcases, underscoring the farm’s community involvement, while customer feedback highlights consistent dispositions and overall resilience.
