Lenth Herefords

Lenth Herefords raises Hereford cattle in Postville, IA, serving Northeast Iowa near Cedar Rapids. Drawing on more than 25 years of breeding experience, the farm adheres to American Hereford Association guidelines and maintains comprehensive health screenings to support herd well-being. Their cattle graze on rotational pasture and access shaded loafing areas, and receive daily low-stress handling to encourage calm temperament, social development and ease of management.

Situated on family-run land passed through three generations, the operation emphasizes sustainable grazing, soil health restoration and balanced feed strategies to produce adaptable cattle. Reviews often note the cattle’s even temperament, uniform muscling and consistent frame, reflecting the farm’s careful selection and record-keeping processes. They offer bull- and heifer-calves from performance-tested bloodlines with documented growth and carcass data suited to both commercial and small-scale operations.

In calving season, they provide sheltered barns with individual maternity pens and 24-hour monitoring to ensure healthy starts for new calves and prompt support for dams. Visitors and buyers appreciate the owners’ willingness to discuss breeding goals, performance data and cattle management practices during on-site visits.
