Vanek Club Calves

Vanek Club Calves, Chianina cattle breeders in Joliet, MT, operate in Stillwater County near Billings. The farm is managed by Dan Vanek, who has been working with Chianina cattle for several years and follows recognized herd health protocols to support genetic soundness.

Its calves graze on mixed grass pastures and receive daily hands-on socialization to promote calm disposition and steady weight gain. Seasonal rotational grazing on irrigated ranges supports soil health and pasture diversity. Operating as a family-run farm, it gives individual attention to each calf’s growth and health from birth onward.

The operation maintains clean calving pens and structured weaning schedules that align with industry best practices and ensure animal welfare. With a focus on producing cattle known for muscle development and adaptability, Vanek Club Calves reflects a family approach to livestock stewardship in Montana’s rolling grasslands. Local ranchers appreciate the gentle temperament of calves and consistent performance in varied grazing conditions.
