Shelby & Jacob Bakenhus

Shelby & Jacob Bakenhus, Hereford cattle, Saint Edward, NE, central Nebraska near Grand Island. They have been raising purebred Hereford cattle on family land for several years and follow established breed registry guidelines with regular health screenings. The pair maintain detailed records for performance metrics and DHI testing to monitor maternal traits and milk quality. Their herd is bloodline-traced and registered, reflecting a focus on structural soundness and calving ease.

Their cattle graze on irrigated pastures and receive daily handling to foster gentle temperaments. A balanced nutrition program overseen by a local veterinarian supports steady growth, and birth weights and growth rates are recorded to support consistency across calving seasons. One recent review noted the calm demeanor of their calves and the thorough breeding records that accompany each animal. They also offer detailed guidance to buyers on herd management and best practices.
