Lavern Schroer

Lavern Schroer is a Hereford cattle breeder in Nelson, NE, Nuckolls County and the Great Plains near Lincoln. Schroer participates in American Hereford Association programs, maintains detailed health and performance records, and conducts routine veterinary checks including ultrasound evaluations to support genetic planning.

Calves are raised on open pastures with rotational grazing, free access to shade and shelter, and fed a balanced diet that combines locally sourced roughage with mineral supplements. Young cattle receive daily hands-on care to promote calm interactions, and group socialization is encouraged from weaning to support herd cohesion.

The operation’s emphasis on sustainable practices and pasture rotation has earned positive feedback for hearty, adaptable cattle suited to both small family farms and larger operations. Many buyers note the durability of the stock and Schroer’s openness in sharing lineage details. Every year, replacement heifers are selected for conformation and calving ease to align with industry standards and farm-specific goals.
