Joshua Van De Walle

Joshua Van De Walle breeds Hereford cattle in Cedar Rapids, NE, north central Nebraska near Lincoln. He follows guidelines set by the American Hereford Association and maintains routine health screenings for reproductive soundness, calf vitality, and disease prevention. Herds graze on rotational pastures managed for native grasses and legumes, which support natural foraging and balanced nutrition throughout the year.

Each calf is handled gently from birth to foster calm temperaments, ease transitions during weaning, and support early training routines. The farm collaborates with local veterinarians to implement proactive herd health protocols, nutritional planning, and shelter management. Seasonal pasture rotations, shaded feeding areas, and clean water systems reflect the farm’s commitment to comprehensive animal well-being. Detailed records of lineage, calving dates, and growth metrics guide breeding decisions to maintain consistency in temperament, structural soundness, and performance across the herd.

Clients value his transparent communication on breeding goals, herd management updates, and development milestones.
