Schindel Cattle Company

Schindel Cattle Company raises Chianina cattle in Columbus, NE, Platte County and central Nebraska near Lincoln.

They have been breeding Chianina for over fifteen years on family land, focusing on health records and balanced conformation. Brandon and Katie Schindel are committed to responsible breeding through participation in the American Chianina Association, regular health screenings and careful pedigree records. They use industry-standard genetic testing and maintain transparent documentation to support sound structural traits.

Their cattle graze on open grasslands and rotate through shaded paddocks, with each herd developing familiar interactions during daily walks and routine handling. The farm balances traditional grazing methods with rotational strategies that promote soil health and animal comfort. Calving seasons are closely monitored with on-site assistance from a local veterinarian, ensuring newborns thrive from day one. Over three generations on this land they have refined practices that produce cattle known for sturdy frames and steady temperaments.
