Shotkoski Ranch

Shotkoski Ranch, Hereford cattle in Hershey, NE, is located in the Nebraska Panhandle near North Platte. The ranch has been raising registered Hereford for over two decades under National Hereford Association standards and holds active membership in the Nebraska Cattlemen's Association. Its breeding program follows recommended health screenings including genetic tests and regular veterinary checkups.

Animals graze on native prairie grass, live in spacious barns, and benefit from early handling for social confidence. The family-run operation traces back three generations of Nebraska ranchers, blending tradition with modern animal welfare. Customers note the calm temperament and strong maternal traits of Shotkoski herds at local livestock shows.

Each year the ranch participates in county fairs and state livestock exhibitions, where their cattle often place highly in conformation classes. Rotational grazing on native grasslands promotes soil health and supports local wildlife alongside livestock operations.
