Hereford HQ

Hereford HQ, Hereford cattle, Diagonal, IA, Ringgold County and the southern Iowa region near Des Moines. It has been committed to careful Hereford breeding for several years, registering stock with the American Hereford Association and offering routine genetic health screenings. Its pastures follow a rotational grazing model and calves grow up on the family farm, gaining early exposure to handling and field conditions.

The herd is selected for a balance of feed efficiency, maternal traits and calm temperament. Founders draw on traditional ranch practices while participating in local county fairs and field days to gauge performance under diverse conditions. A small on-farm herd allows detailed attention to each animal’s development from birth through maturity. Health records are meticulously kept and shared with buyers to support informed decisions about genetic traits. Responsible husbandry and a focus on sustainable grazing underpin the farm’s approach, reflecting a long-term view of herd health and land stewardship.
