Rutt Cattle Company

Rutt Cattle Company is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Taylor, NE, in the Nebraska Sandhills region near North Platte. They participate in American Hereford Association programs and maintain routine health screenings including hoof inspections, vaccination schedules and genetic evaluations to support long-term herd performance. Calves are raised on native prairie pasture with daily handling to help them adapt easily to new farm environments.

The operation follows rotational grazing practices and focuses on balanced nutrition drawn from local forage sources. Adults have access to open-sided shelters and clean water sources year-round to handle seasonal weather changes. Owners emphasize low-stress animal management, aiming for gentle dispositions and strong maternal instincts through early handling routines.

Balanced genetics are selected for feed efficiency and maternal strength, with several herd sires registered through the American Hereford Association. A family-run ranch approach and steady feedback from neighboring producers underscore their commitment to herd improvement over generations.
