Justin Tejkl

Justin Tejkl breeds Shorthorn cattle in Colon, NE, within eastern Nebraska near Omaha. He has worked with Shorthorn cattle for over two decades and maintains registry-recorded pedigrees through the American Shorthorn Association, with routine health testing for key genetic traits. His herd grazes on open pastures supplemented with hay and grain, and calves are socialized early to ensure steady growth and a calm disposition. The farm’s southern-style barn and adjoining paddocks allow for year-round sheltered movement and turnout.

Many buyers appreciate the balance of maternal strength and gentle nature in the calves raised here. Justin Tejkl also offers guidance on nutrition and management to first-time breeders to help build confidence in herd care. The ranch spans gently rolling terrain with irrigated fields that support diverse forages and overall herd health. Calves from this program are well regarded at local livestock shows for consistent weight gain and structural soundness.
