Studer Shorthorns

Studer Shorthorns is a Heritage shorthorn breeder in Creston, IA serving southwestern Iowa near Des Moines. Dale Studer has practiced selective breeding for more than two decades and records each animal with the American Shorthorn Association herd-book. They also conduct annual ultrasound and genetic screenings to maintain structural soundness and fertility. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures year-round, receive routine veterinary care and grow accustomed to calm handling from an early age.

Focus on preserving heritage bloodlines yields balanced conformation, feed efficiency and steady temperaments prized at county fairs and local shows. Their farm began as a small family operation, and this continuity shows in healthy calves and open communication about breeding records. Prospective owners often note the gentle nature of the stock and the visible care taken throughout each stage of development. Many of their animals find homes with small-scale producers and family farms throughout the region.
