Justin Godwin

Justin Godwin is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Libertyville, Iowa, in Delaware County near Des Moines. Drawing on years of experience and formal registration with recognized breed associations, he follows strict health-testing protocols including regular screenings for common genetic conditions.

The herd rotates through seasonal, well-managed native-grass pastures to promote nutritious grazing, and calves receive daily handling to develop steady, confident temperaments. Animals are weaned on-site to support a smooth transition, and young stock benefits from early, dedicated socialization alongside family members. Annual veterinary checks and detailed traceability records ensure each animal meets rigorous health standards.

Several steers and heifers from recent calves have earned top placements at local agricultural fairs. The operation grew from a small homestead herd to a respected source within Iowa’s broader beef community. Visitors often remark on the stock’s sound structure and the farm’s carefully maintained, welcoming yet professional environment.
