Lyle and Stephanie Sexton

Lyle and Stephanie Sexton raise Chianina cattle in Ainsworth, IA, Cedar County and the Cedar Rapids area. They have spent over a decade focusing on registered Chianina bloodlines, hold membership in national cattle associations, and perform regular health screenings for all breeding stock. Their herd grazes on rotational pasture and benefits from daily interactions in an open-air barn, supporting early socialization and natural behaviors. Feeding plans are tailored to each animal’s stage of growth, reflecting a commitment to balanced nutrition and overall well-being.

In the local agricultural community, the farm’s lineage dates back to a multi-generation family operation, and several cattle carry pedigrees tracing to award-winning sires. They maintain detailed records of growth rates and temperament to guide breeding decisions and promote consistency across generations. Sexton cattle often feature in local fairs and livestock events, where neighbors note their gentle disposition and sturdy conformation.
