Mike Fogarty

Mike Fogarty, Chianina cattle, Walthill, NE is a breeder in Thurston County and northeast Nebraska near Omaha. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in beef ranching, he is a member of the American Chianina Association and follows recommended health screening for genetic and reproductive wellness. His herd grazes on rotational pastures with access to shelter sheds and fresh water, and calves are handled early to encourage ease of management.

Operating from a single-site ranch established on family grounds, he records pedigrees and performance data to inform selective breeding decisions and occasionally presents cattle at regional livestock shows. Customers note the even temperaments and sturdy builds of his cattle, reflecting his emphasis on sound structure. He provides transparent health histories and detailed husbandry notes for each animal. Feed rations are developed in consultation with local nutritionists to support consistent growth through changing seasons.
