Ritz Land & Cattle

Ritz Land & Cattle, specializing in Scottish highland cattle, is located in Dannebrog, NE, in central Nebraska near Grand Island. Jordan Ritz has dedicated over a decade to refining bloodlines, collaborating with national breed registries, participating in regional cattle associations, and following thorough health testing protocols.

Calves graze on open pasture from weaning through maturity, with daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Herd health is overseen year-round by local veterinarians, and rotational grazing on native grasslands supports sustainable land use. Supplemental hay is provided during winter months to maintain condition without disrupting natural foraging patterns.

The ranch’s history spans multiple generations, and original stone outbuildings still stand as a reminder of its early 20th-century roots. Each animal is tracked through detailed records covering lineage, health milestones, and growth performance. These highland cattle are valued for hardy genetics, thick winter coats, and maternal instincts well suited to Nebraska’s climate.
