Nick Anderson

Nick Anderson, Chianina cattle, Denison, IA, is based in Crawford County and western Iowa near Omaha. He follows breed registry guidelines and conducts routine health testing, including fertility assessments and genetic screenings, to support livestock well-being and temperament.

Animals graze on open pastures around his family farm, receiving a grain- and forage-based diet, daily health checks and mineral supplementation. Calves are handled gently from an early age under close supervision to encourage social confidence and ease of management. His herd routinely shows the Chianina breed’s characteristic muscling and calm disposition in field conditions. Longstanding relationships with local feed suppliers support sustainable grazing practices on the rolling pastures of the farm. Records are kept for each animal’s lineage, ensuring clear traceability and supporting breed improvement efforts. Prospective buyers note the herd’s steady growth and even temperament as consistent with industry standards.
