Gregory Waller

Gregory Waller, Shorthorn cattle, Maquoketa, IA, Jackson County and the Mississippi River valley near Davenport. Waller follows American Shorthorn Association standards and conducts routine genetic health screenings on all breeding stock. The operation maintains a mixture of paddock-based rotational grazing and open barn shelters so cattle can graze during warmer seasons and seek cover when temperatures drop.

Calves receive daily handling starting in the first week and mingle with an older heifer group to build calm temperament. Feeding programs combine homegrown forages with balanced mineral supplements tailored to each growth stage. Manure is composted and returned to pastures, and diverse forage species are planted annually to enhance soil structure. Select steers and heifers have placed at regional county fairs, reflecting a focus on both form and function.

This family-run operation brings generations of experience and a commitment to transparent communications about herd health and availability.
