Homestead Herds

Homestead Herds provides reproduction services for cattle in Waco, TX, in the heart of Central Texas about 95 miles south of Dallas. Jeff Kriesel runs the business, which centers on artificial insemination for cattle.

Artificial insemination is a widely used breeding method in the cattle world. It allows producers to breed cows and heifers without keeping a bull on site, and it can make it easier to plan calving around a set time of year. Small herds, cow-calf operations and hobby farms all use the approach as part of their breeding plans.

Cattle are a familiar sight across the pastures and ranchland surrounding Waco, and local owners keep herds of many different sizes. For people raising beef or dairy animals in the area, artificial insemination is one practical option when organizing a breeding season. Homestead Herds works with cattle owners from its base in Waco, TX.
