Wenzel Farms

Wenzel Farms specializes in Hereford cattle in Latimer, IA, Franklin County and north central Iowa near Waterloo. The farm has years of experience following breed association guidelines and conducts regular health testing including annual screening for common diseases and genetic evaluations.

All cattle are raised on rotational pasture with access to sheltered paddocks, fresh water and daily veterinary oversight. The operation uses low-stress handling from birth, introducing calves to herd routines and human interaction early in a calm setting. Sustainable grazing practices and careful herd management balance productivity with animal welfare throughout the seasons.

Wenzel Farms maintains clean facilities and shaded areas that support natural foraging and rest behaviors. Their focus on temperament and performance makes these cattle suitable for both family farms and larger feedlot programs. Local farmers often praise the consistency of health and disposition in each sale group.
