Kyle Kabela

Kyle Kabela, Chianina cattle, West Branch, IA in Cedar County and eastern Iowa near Iowa City, runs a breeding program. With over ten years of experience, he follows association guidelines with annual veterinary exams and essential health screenings. His cattle graze on rotational pastures bordered by native grasses and enjoy daily handling to develop steady growth and even temperaments.

The herd reflects bloodlines selected for fertility, structural soundness and calving ease, carried through three farm generations. Each calf receives early vaccinations and routine hoof care to support herd vigor and longevity. Calves share space with other farm animals, learning calm behavior from lambs and goats on the ranch. He maintains detailed herd records for performance metrics like weaning weight and feed efficiency. Neighbors often comment on the consistent muscle definition and relaxed attitude seen in every year’s fall weaning group.
