Phil Halbach

Phil Halbach, Chianina cattle, Woolstock, IA, is based in Wright County and central Iowa near Des Moines. He has been raising Chianina for several years and holds membership in the American Chianina Association. All his breeding stock undergoes routine health testing for hoof and respiratory conditions, and calves are raised in a pasture-based system that encourages natural grazing and movement.

Animals spend their first months alongside their mothers and enjoy frequent socialization with family and visiting farmers to build calm temperaments. The farm’s quiet rural setting provides space for herd rotations and seasonal shelter in well-maintained barns with open pens. Phil’s approach balances traditional ranching values with regular attention to nutrition and growth monitoring. His Chianina are known for their gentle nature and balanced conformation on small family farms throughout the region. Buyers note the consistency of his breeding lines and the calm disposition of mature cattle.
