He has been raising Chianina cattle for several years and follows established registry standards and health-testing protocols. Most of his herd is registered with the American Chianina Association, ensuring complete genetic records and breed integrity. His cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to fresh water, and calves receive regular handling to promote gentle temperaments.

Rich Rehkopf’s operation on S Lakola Road sits on family land where sturdy shelter barns and mineral-rich pastures support year-round wellbeing. Several of his cattle have earned ribbons at regional fairs and lend genetics for lean beef and cross-breeding projects elsewhere.

The ranch also emphasizes sustainable practices, with native grasses encouraging biodiversity alongside herd management.
