Valley Creek Ranch

Valley Creek Ranch, Hereford cattle, Fairbury, NE, is located in Jefferson County near Lincoln. The ranch maintains thorough health records and follows guidelines from national breeder associations for vaccination, parasite control, and herd health.

Calves and adults graze on native grass pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and early socialization. A pasture rotation system supports sustainable land use while ensuring diversified forage and ongoing soil regeneration. Calves remain with dams for an extended nursing period before gentle weaning via supplemental hay to preserve maternal bonds.

Family stewardship emphasizes consistency in breeding selection and careful monitoring of genetic traits to maintain breed integrity. Local cattlemen have praised the herd’s sound structure and docile nature during regional livestock gatherings. Seasonal herd health inspections are conducted in partnership with a local veterinarian to track nutritional performance and adapt care plans.
