Fa-Mei-R Shorthorns LLC

Fa-Mei-R Shorthorns LLC breeds Shorthorn cattle in Pierce, NE, serving northeast Nebraska near Norfolk. Jeff Fangmeier follows American Shorthorn Association standards and adheres to recommended health and genetic testing for all breeding stock. Calves are raised on rotational pasture with daily handling to promote calm temperaments, and dams graze mixed forage tailored to their nutritional needs.

The herd traces back to foundation lines selected for maternal traits and efficient growth in northern plains climates. Breeding decisions reflect attention to temperament, structural soundness and feed conversion recorded throughout each animal’s development. This approach supports reliable performance for both commercial beef operations and small family ranches seeking adaptable, low-maintenance cattle.

Facilities include spacious, covered loafing areas, reinforced fencing and automated water systems, ensuring cattle comfort and reliable hydration throughout the year. Thoughtful calving protocols minimize stress for both cow and calf, and regular owner updates from nearby ranchers highlight the uniform growth and gentle disposition of the herd.
