Our Herd.
We strive to produce genetics that can yield high-quality beef, while excelling in all segments of the industry. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer are the cornerstones of our breeding program. These techniques allow us to use the best sires in the breed and to propagate the best genetics in our own herd. Performance records and genomic testing are tools we provide for our customers so they can safely and confidently select the best genetics for their programs.
Over the years, we have fed many of our own home-grown cattle and cattle purchased from our bull customers to collect performance and carcass data. With our experience in both the seedstock and commercial sides of the business, we are positioned to help our customers grow to their full potential.
Herd Sires
There are noticeable trends that can be identified in the herd sires we use here at Nemaha Valley Cattle Company. While calving ease, growth and carcass traits are obvious traits that add value, we also focus heavily on traits that are a little more difficult to measure such as docility, maternal traits (besides milk), feed efficiency and structure. We truly believe our balanced-trait bulls offer our customers the best opportunity to be profitable at the ranch level, while helping build demand for beef at the consumer level.
