Suchan Show Cattle

Suchan Show Cattle, Hereford cattle in Gowrie, IA, operates in north central Iowa near Des Moines. The farm has been selecting and raising Hereford cattle with attention to breed standards, following guidelines set by state cattle associations, and conducting routine health screenings under veterinary guidance. Animals graze on rotating pastures during the growing season, transition to sheltered loafing barns in winter, and are handled daily to encourage a calm temperament and ease of management.

The operation maintains a foundation herd that regularly competes at county fairs and local shows, earning placements for consistent conformation, muscling, and structural soundness. Calves are raised alongside the main herd to support early social development and to introduce them gradually to pasture life under careful supervision. Feed rations are balanced by nutrient content analysis, with minerals provided year-round to promote bone strength and maternal health at calving. Suchan Show Cattle strives to offer breeding stock known for gentle disposition, reliable reproductive performance, and adaptability to diverse feeding environments.
