Faust Cattle Company

Faust Cattle Company breeds Shorthorn cattle in Strawberry Point, IA, in northeast Iowa near Dubuque. Owner Tiffany Choate has dedicated years to responsible breeding under American Shorthorn Association guidelines and emphasizes genetic health and structural soundness. Calves are raised in pasture-based systems with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and resilience. The rolling pastures support rotational grazing that promotes soil health and forage diversity.

Herd health is managed through routine vaccinations, nutritional plans, and seasonal herd checks to maintain consistent performance. Socialization begins shortly after birth with gentle handling that fosters trust and ease of management. Feedback from neighboring producers highlights the cattle’s adaptability to both commercial operations and small farms, noting steady gains and even temperaments across generations. Choate combines pasture rotation, cover cropping, and sustainable land stewardship to improve forage quality, support healthy weight gains, and balance production with environmental care.
