KC Show Cattle

KC Show Cattle, Chianina cattle breeders in Manilla, IA, works throughout Crawford County and the Sioux City area. Owner Kory Lauridsen has raised Chianina cattle for more than ten years and maintains registration with national breed associations while following recommended health testing protocols. Calves are reared in open pastures with daily attention to herd health and socialization, ensuring young cattle become comfortable with handling from an early age.

The farm’s rolling grassland paddocks include dedicated yards for halter training and low-stress fence handling, reflecting a hands-on approach refined on this family-run operation. Regular veterinary inspections and a balanced forage-based diet support steady growth and ease of calving, with detailed records kept for every animal.

The farm’s small-scale herd structure allows for individualized care and ongoing selection toward ideal Chianina characteristics. Regional stock show judges note sound structure and even temperament in KC Show Cattle’s entries.
