EMS Enterprise

EMS Enterprise, Chianina cattle in Gothenburg, NE, operates on a family-run farm in Dawson County and central Nebraska near North Platte. It has been raising Chianina cattle for over a decade and follows recommended health screenings from national breed associations. Its cattle graze on surrounding family-run pastureland and are introduced to daily handling routines that encourage calm temperaments.

Keen attention to balanced nutrition and daily pasture rotations promotes strong growth rates while preserving local grassland resources. This family operation maintains clear lineage records and shares details about each animal’s background. Visitors often note the herd’s gentle disposition and the hands-on care the Schlakes bring to every stage of the breeding cycle. Clean handling facilities and shaded water stations help young cattle adapt comfortably during warm months. A recent review highlighted the farm’s transparency in sharing health and performance data for each calf.
