Travis Poppe

Travis Poppe is a Hereford cattle breeder in Crofton, NE, in northeast Nebraska near Omaha. Travis Poppe adheres to American Hereford Association guidelines and recommends standard health screenings for breeding stock. The herd grazes on native prairie grasses with supplemental hay during winter, always with access to sheltered loafing areas, and calves receive early socialization to encourage calm temperaments and resilience. A local veterinarian provides monthly herd health visits, oversees vaccination protocols and tailors nutritional advice for each animal.

The operation follows sustainable grazing rotations, employs low-stress cattle handling and maintains detailed pasture records to support both animal welfare and long-term land health. Seasonal paddock rotations help preserve soil quality and forage diversity across the property. Local growers note clear health records, consistent herd temperaments and thorough documentation of breeding histories. This focus on transparency and careful husbandry reflects a commitment to balanced genetics and lifelong wellbeing of the cattle.
