Wiese & Sons

Wiese & Sons breed Hereford cattle in Manning, IA, serving Carroll County and the Des Moines area. They have built extensive experience in selective breeding, participating in the American Hereford Association to track lineage and preserve breed standards. Their animals undergo routine veterinary exams and genetic screening for common health concerns, including eye and musculature issues. Calves and mature cattle graze on well-managed rotational pastures, promoting strong growth and natural behaviors in a low-stress environment.

They place emphasis on early socialization, inviting cattle to become comfortable with handling and daily farm routines. By rotating fields to support soil health, they ensure a diverse forage base that benefits herd nutrition. Their community involvement at county fairs and local auctions builds transparency and gives prospective buyers a chance to meet animals in a familiar setting. A varied feed program includes high-quality hay and carefully balanced grains to support optimal health throughout all life stages.
