Oakview Shorthorns

Oakview Shorthorns is a Shorthorn breeder in Nevada, IA, serving Story County and the Des Moines area. For more than 15 years, Lonny Flack has raised registered cattle through recognized beef cattle associations and prioritizes routine health screening for fertility and structural soundness. Calves are born on open pasture, receive daily handling to ease stress, and stay with their dams until fully weaned. The operation balances rotational grazing with nutrient-rich forage, supporting steady growth and overall wellbeing.

Lonny’s hands-on approach stems from a family tradition in agricultural stewardship, blending pastoral practices with detailed record keeping. Emphasis on maternal traits and marbling has led to consistent results at regional livestock exhibitions. Visitors often comment on the calm temperament of the herd and the farm’s open layout. Participation in county fairs and producer meetings reflects Lonny’s commitment to community and continuous improvement.
