Sweeting Family Cattle

Sweeting Family Cattle, Hereford cattle, Riverside, IA, Washington County and the Iowa City area. It has been raising Hereford cattle for over a decade and is a registered member of the American Hereford Association, following recommended health testing protocols. The operation runs on family-owned rolling pastures where the cattle graze through a planned rotation that supports both animal and soil health.

Calves spend their early weeks with their mothers in well-ventilated barns and move to sheltered paddocks as they mature. During winter months the herd receives balanced feed blends trialed for digestive comfort and steady growth.

The Sweeting family emphasizes low-stress handling and daily observation to ensure each animal thrives. Visitors often note the farm’s quiet setting and well-kept fences as signs of consistent, caring management. The herd includes descendants of nationally recognized bloodlines that contribute to efficient weight gain and sound conformation.
