Weigels Steerpit LLC

Weigels Steerpit LLC breeds Shorthorn cattle in Cuba City, WI, in Grant County and the Driftless Area near Dubuque. Owner Mark Weigel follows American Shorthorn Association guidelines and maintains routine health screenings, including metabolic profiling and parasite control, to keep the herd healthy. The cattle spend summers on mixed grass pastures managed with rotational grazing, and calves are introduced to handling pens and gentle halter training early for calm disposition.

This family-run farm balances traditional care with modern recordkeeping that tracks weight gains, vaccination dates and lineage for each animal. Mark applies a custom mineral program and keeps water sources fresh to support steady growth and sturdy feet. Feedback from local buyers highlights the clear documentation provided at each stage and the even temperament seen in yearlings. Weigels Steerpit’s steady approach and hands-on training contribute to cattle that adapt well to breeding or finishing programs.
