Kellen & Katie Jorgensen

Kellen & Katie Jorgensen raise Hereford cattle in Exeter, NE, serving Adams County and Platte River Valley near Grand Island. As a family-run operation with roots in regional ranching, they participate in breed association programs and follow veterinarian-recommended health testing protocols. Their breeding goals emphasize structural soundness, maternal instincts and genetic diversity to maintain a resilient herd adapted to Nebraska’s climate.

Cattle rotate through well-managed pastures with shaded loafing areas and fresh water access, and calves receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments. On-site veterinary consultations and balanced pasture rotations support preventive care and optimal nutrition throughout the year. They schedule a spring calving season to align with natural forage availability. One satisfied buyer remarked on their calves’ steady growth, friendly disposition and ease of handling during a multi-state show circuit. Their ongoing commitment to animal welfare and incremental herd improvement reflects a thoughtful, small-scale approach to cattle farming.
