Matt Lautner

Matt Lautner, Chianina cattle breeder in Adel, IA, serves rural Dallas County near Des Moines. With over a decade of selective breeding, he follows American Chianina Association guidelines, maintains local farm bureau membership, and conducts routine health testing and DNA parentage verification on every animal.

His pasture-based approach relies on well-managed rotational grazing to support natural foraging behaviors and reduce stress across seasons. Newborn calves receive gentle handling from day one to promote strong bonds, easy adjustment to farm life and early basic training. Facilities include shaded loafing areas, fresh water systems, weather-proof shelters that protect livestock from Iowa weather swings, and barns cleaned daily.

Several cattle from his farm have placed at county fairs, reflecting a focus on structure, soundness and longevity. Prospective buyers appreciate his straightforward communication, detailed performance records and openness about lineage, which helps build trust in each animal’s background.
