Marshall Meeks

Marshall Meeks, Hereford cattle, Taylor, NE, operates in the Sandhills region near Grand Island. The farm has been raising Hereford cattle for several years, focusing on genetic health, maintaining detailed pedigree records, and scheduling routine veterinary screenings to support herd well-being.

Animals graze freely on open prairie pastures, where they begin daily handling from birth to develop a steady, friendly temperament. Management follows traditional pasture-based husbandry with attention to mineral-balanced nutrition and locally sourced feed to sustain pasture quality. Breeding decisions are guided by performance measures in weight gain, structural soundness, and temperament, all tracked throughout the year.

A local review highlights the sturdy frame and calm disposition of the calves, noting consistent growth rates across the herd. Membership in regional livestock associations provides access to continuing education on best practices and reinforces a commitment to animal care. The farm’s approach combines close family oversight with an emphasis on sustainable practices to nurture healthy, adaptable cattle.
