Jacqueline Dee Lewis

Jacqueline Dee Lewis, Hereford cattle breeder in Burwell, NE, in Garfield County and the Nebraska Sandhills near Grand Island, raises cattle with an emphasis on health and temperament. Her herd undergoes periodic health testing in line with breed association standards, and breeding pairs are selected for docility and structural soundness.

Calves are raised on open prairie pasture, where they learn to graze on native grasses and receive daily socialization to foster calm handling. The family-run farm combines rotational grazing with balanced supplemental feeding, reflecting over two decades of local ranching traditions. Detailed records accompany each animal, offering insight into lineage and performance traits.

Natural water sources and sheltering tree lines on the property help cattle adapt to seasonal changes. Long-time visitors note the gentle nature of the stock and appreciate clear, consistent communication about care routines. This balanced approach supports the development of robust Hereford cattle well-suited to a variety of ranching environments.
