Nathan Lehman maintains detailed records on lineage, weight gains, and maternal performance to guide breeding decisions while preserving essential genetic diversity within the herd. The farm’s approach balances family traditions and practical husbandry techniques with modern insights to ensure robust, healthy cattle suited to varied climates. Breeding goals emphasize maternal traits, adaptability to varying seasonal conditions, and ease of calving for first-time heifers, reflecting a focus on welfare.

Their sustainable pasture management contributes to soil health, native forage regrowth, and biodiversity across rolling fields on the farm. NJ Lehman Farms reflects Nathan Lehman’s commitment to responsible livestock stewardship through transparent practices and detailed health histories for every animal.
