Splitt Creek Ranch

Splitt Creek Ranch is a breeder of miniature Hereford cattle in North Platte, NE, on the western plains of Nebraska near Grand Island. Founded by Judy Splitt, the ranch has raised miniature Herefords for over two decades with herds registered through the American Hereford Association. Regular health screenings and pasture rotations reflect its focus on animal well-being and pasture stewardship.

Calves grow up in small family groups on open grasslands, allowing gentle handling and early socialization. A recent health audit praised their clean facilities and detailed records. Splitt Creek Ranch aims to maintain cattle that suit small farms and educational settings, drawing interest from families and schools beyond the local area. The ranch barn includes insulated sheds and covered feeding areas to protect cattle during winter storms. Visitors often note the calm nature of the herd, which reflects early leash training and daily interactions.
