Wind-A-Near Ranch

Wind-A-Near Ranch, Tarentaise cattle, Dubuque, IA, operates in the Mississippi River Valley near Davenport. Owner William Lansing oversees day-to-day care and maintains Tarentaise breed registry membership along with regular health testing for fertility, calving ease, and common bovine diseases. Situated on land maintained by the ranch for generations, the operation balances heritage breeding techniques with modern care standards.

The ranch’s rotational grazing model supports forage diversity across prairies and hardwood edges, while calves experience early handling to build calm temperament. Facilities include spacious shelter and consistent access to clean water and mineral supplements. Practices comply with Iowa’s animal welfare regulations and encourage natural herd behavior. Lansing collaborates with the local extension service and participates in county fairs to exchange best practices and showcase herd performance.

Known for lean beef with balanced marbling, the herd adapts well to seasonal shifts and low-input systems, and neighbors note its quiet disposition and stable weight gains through grass-based nutrition.
