Steven Vandewalle

Steven Vandewalle raises Hereford cattle locally in Cedar Rapids, Nebraska, in central Nebraska near Omaha. He maintains registrations with the American Hereford Association, follows recommended health screening protocols, and conducts daily herd checks with a local veterinarian to support calving ease and early temperament building. Grazing takes place on rotational native grass pastures, while winter housing provides shelter in a well-ventilated barn.

The farm combines a multi-generational ranching heritage with sustainable land stewardship, supporting soil health and pasture diversity. Local ranchers often note consistent herd performance and the calm disposition of his Hereford cattle. He also participates in regional cattle evaluations to benchmark growth and carcass quality metrics. His approach balances modern animal welfare standards with respect for classic breed characteristics. Every animal benefits from a tailored vaccination schedule and mineral supplementation program designed for Nebraska’s climate and forage conditions.
