Ralston Ripp

Ralston Ripp, Hereford cattle, Kearney, NE, raises cattle in Central Nebraska near Grand Island. It is a member of the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health testing protocols.

Calves are raised on rotational pasture with daily hands-on socialization to ensure calm temperaments. Feed is sourced from local grains and forages harvested on the ranch to mirror natural diets and promote herd health.

The family-run ranch blends generations of experience with modern attention to animal welfare, and some animals have placed in regional livestock shows. Prospective owners often note the breeder’s transparent records, on-site visits and commitment to gentle handling throughout each stage of development. Its approach balances selective breeding for structural soundness with an emphasis on maternal traits that thrive in the local climate. Registered calves leave the farm with complete health records and a history of routine vaccinations and deworming.
