Upstream Ranch

Upstream Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Taylor, NE, in the Nebraska Sandhills near North Platte. This family-run operation follows industry registry guidelines and ensures routine health testing for calving ease, parasite control and herd wellbeing. Calves are raised in rotational grazing pastures to support natural foraging and strong hoof health. The ranch prioritizes both quiet temperament and structural soundness through careful sire selection. The ranch reflects a deep connection to local ranching traditions, integrating practical know-how with attention to land health.

Animals live in clean, open-range corrals where they receive daily attention and early handling for social confidence around people. A structured weaning program encourages steady weight gain and reduced stress for young calves. Upstream Ranch combines traditional land stewardship with modern animal welfare practices, reflecting years of adaptation to local climate and grassland ecosystems, and maintains accurate breeding records to support traceability and predictable herd performance.
