Greiner Farms

Greiner Farms, Shorthorn cattle, Cedar Falls, IA, are nestled in Black Hawk County and the Cedar Valley near Waterloo. They have been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for several years and maintain memberships with the American Shorthorn Association while adhering to recommended health screenings.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures supplemented by balanced rations, and calves receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments. The farm’s roots trace back to midcentury family operations, where careful selection led to stable bloodlines prized by neighboring ranchers. Thomas Greiner and Michael Greiner oversee all aspects of breeding decisions, bringing hands-on experience to pasture rotation and herd health.

Their careful record keeping and openness to veterinarian guidance support a herd that reflects consistent performance and sound structure. Regular pasture assessments, shelter access and mineral supplementation ensure cattle thrive year-round in Iowa’s changing seasons. They also engage in rotational grazing techniques that promote soil health and reduce parasite pressure.
