Feathered & Grazing Homestead

Feathered & Grazing Homestead is a Lowline cattle and mini Hereford breeder in Sutton, south-central Nebraska near Hastings. With more than ten years of experience, it follows best practices, conducting regular veterinary checks and health screenings for all breeding stock. The herds graze rotationally across open pasturelands and follow seasonal calving schedules, and they are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments, with calves raised in family-like groups and sheltered during severe weather. The farm operates from a century-old homestead, blending traditional methods with modern animal welfare standards.

One recent visitor praised the gentle nature and sturdy build of the calves. The breeder holds memberships in national cattle associations and prioritizes genetic diversity to support robust herds. They select for sound feet and udders to promote longevity in breeding cows. Many local farms source feeder calves from this homestead for consistent quality across batches.
