The Langum Family

The Langum Family, shorthorn cattle in Cresco, Iowa, in northeast Iowa near Waterloo, has been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than twenty years. It holds registrations through the American Shorthorn Association and conducts regular health testing on every animal.

Animals graze in spacious pastures with rotational fencing that supports sturdy bone structure and reduces parasite pressure. During inclement weather, cattle can shelter in clean barns where bedding is refreshed daily to maintain comfort and hoof health. Calves are gently handled each morning to promote calm temperaments and encourage early social bonds.

Owner Kyle R Langum applies family knowledge to breeding goals, focusing on longevity and structural soundness across bloodlines. The farm’s Shorthorns adapt well to varied climates and showcase balanced musculature from birth through maturity. Detailed record-keeping tracks growth rates, pedigree and health that guide future matings and uphold the farm’s long-standing reputation.
