Ritter Farm

Ritter Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in West Point, NE, serving eastern Nebraska near Omaha. They participate in the American Hereford Association’s herd-book program and conduct regular health testing and biosecurity audits for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures, receive daily health checks, and calves are handled from birth to encourage calm behavior. The farm follows sustainable practices on native grasslands, supporting sound hoof development and natural weight gain. Operating as a family-run farm, Ritter Farm blends traditional husbandry with modern best practices.

Breeders select foundation stock based on structural soundness and maternal traits to support lasting herd productivity. Facilities include climate-controlled calving pens and shaded paddocks to protect young cattle during extreme weather. A recent customer observed that Ritter Farm’s cattle exhibit friendly dispositions and praised the breeders’ transparency throughout the breeding process.
