Lazy G Farms

Lazy G Farms is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Spragueville, IA, serving Jackson County and the driftless area near Dubuque. It has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade, following recommended health screening protocols for key genetic traits and working with veterinarians to ensure sound reproductive health.

Calves are raised in a pasture-based system, rotating through fenced paddocks to preserve forage quality and encourage natural grazing habits. Regular handling from birth through weaning encourages a calm temperament, and housing includes spacious loafing sheds for shelter. The farm maintains detailed records of lineage, health treatments and growth benchmarks, reflecting a commitment to transparency and animal well-being. The modest herd size allows personalized feeding programs and frequent health checks, while ear tagging and traceability records support responsible breeding practices.

As a small-scale operation, Lazy G Farms draws on family farm traditions that prioritize low-stress handling and steady herd improvement, ensuring each animal matures under careful supervision.
