Kozik Bros

Kozik Bros operate a family-run ranch raising Hereford cattle in Belle Plaine, IA, serving Benton County and the Cedar Rapids area. The family has been breeding Hereford cattle since the early 1990s, maintains herd registrations with the American Hereford Association and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, and follows recommended health testing protocols for good herd health.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures seeded with native grasses and is supplemented with hay grown on site. Animals receive regular veterinary oversight, follow deworming schedules and mineral supplementation plans, and have access to shelter throughout the year. Calves are handled gently from birth and spend their early weeks alongside the adults, encouraging calm temperaments.

Several of their bulls have placed well at regional livestock shows and county fairs, reflecting consistent form, muscle development and sound structure. The operation combines traditional ranching values with attention to modern animal welfare practices and environmental stewardship. With an emphasis on longevity and adaptability, their cattle suit both family-run homesteads and larger agricultural enterprises across varied climates.
