Malina J Lindstrom

Malina J Lindstrom breeds Chianina cattle in Elm Creek, Nebraska, central Nebraska near Kearney. She has been raising Chianina cattle for more than ten years and participates in the American Chianina Association’s performance testing programs. Genetic evaluations, regular veterinary health screenings and pasture analysis support her breeding decisions.

Animals graze on a rotational pasture system that encourages deep-rooted grass growth and soil health. Livestock enjoy access to natural springs, shaded loafing areas and barns with insulated pens for colder months. Lindstrom emphasizes calm, low-stress handling from birth and early socialization to build confidence and cooperation. Known in local agricultural circles for cattle that balance steady growth and gentle temperament, the operation blends traditional ranching with selective breeding to maintain herd vitality.

Seasonal adjustments in mineral supplementation and forage rotation keep the herd in optimal condition throughout the year and adapt to local climate shifts.
