Schweitzer Red Angus

Schweitzer Red Angus, operated by Austin Schweitzer, raises red Angus cattle near Pleasant Dale, Nebraska, in the Seward County area roughly 30 miles southwest of Lincoln. The registered seedstock program has been producing bulls and replacement heifers since 2014, though Austin's roots in cattle go back further — he started a commercial herd in 1999 alongside his late grandfather, Jim Wehrs.

Austin's background includes three years working at the University of Nebraska Cow Calf Research Center between 2001 and 2004, an experience that shaped his approach to red Angus cattle selection and performance. The program was built on foundation cows purchased from the herd of Dr. Jim Gosey in Raymond, Nebraska, with additional purebred stock sourced from across the Midwest.

The operation centers on an artificial insemination and embryo transfer program, breeding every female via AI each year and using ET to multiply top-producing cow families. Sire selection emphasizes proven bulls paired specifically to individual cows, with a focus on growth performance and overall feed yard merit alongside calving-ease heifer bulls. Bulls offered from the program receive breeding soundness evaluations, and the herd is developed in partnership with local feedyard and nutritional resources in the region. For those searching for red Angus cattle for sale in Nebraska, Schweitzer Red Angus offers both registered bulls and purebred and commercial replacement heifers aimed at improving efficiency in cow-calf operations across the Midwest.
