William Steinkruger

William Steinkruger is a Hereford cattle breeder in Franklin, NE, Franklin County and the Sandhills near Kearney. He has been working with Hereford cattle for several years and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association, with all animals enrolled in routine health screenings, vaccination protocols and genetic testing. The farm sits on well-drained grassland managed with rotational grazing to support soil health, water conservation and natural forage cycles.

Facilities include a climate-controlled, well-ventilated barn and shaded loafing sheds to help cattle stay comfortable in changing weather. His herd grazes on open pasture and calves are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. Several of his animals have placed at area livestock shows, reflecting a focus on both breed standards and practical performance. Steinkruger’s approach balances traditional husbandry with attentive care to ensure cattle well-being through every stage of growth.
