Taylor Schwartz

Taylor Schwartz, Chianina cattle, Lowden, IA, is located in eastern Iowa near Cedar Rapids. She has worked with Chianina cattle for more than a decade and maintains membership in the American Chianina Association, following their breeding and herd-book standards.

All breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary health checks, genetic screening for coat color and muscle development, and careful calving management to support herd vitality. Her cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to shade and shelter, and daily handling encourages a calm temperament alongside natural herd behavior. Calves remain with their dams for extended nursing periods and receive supplemental feeding with local hay and grain to promote steady growth.

Her farm blends traditional grazing with modern welfare practices and a focus on ease of calving and balanced growth rates across the herd. A recent visitor noted the gentle demeanor of the animals and the thoughtful layout of the barns and paddocks.
