There’s nothing quite like a couple of “Good Doin’” Hereford bulls backed by great genetics and a beautiful sunset! #wieseandsons #gooddoin #hereford #bulls #winter #sunset
The bunks have been scooped, stalks rebedded, and cattle all fed after our first real snow this winter season. Though the weather got a bit nasty last night the cattle looked tremendous this morning! #wieseandsons #hereford #cattle #heifers #winter #weather #snow
Last week during the annual ICA Leadership Summit we were honored as the recipient of the 2021 @iacattlemen BQA award. This award is quiet significant to us as everyday we do our best to care for and handle our livestock as if they were family. We’d also like to express a special thank you to those who nominated us and the selection committee for viewing our operation worthy of this award! #wieseandsons #gooddoin #bulls #iowacattlemensassociation #ica #beefqualityassurance #bqa #award
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by yesterday’s severe weather conditions. Though we lost one of our calving facilities we’re extremely thankful our livestock and families were unharmed. Please keep those less fortunate in mind during this time as we consider ourselves some of the lucky ones. #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #cattle #storm #damage
On the weekend of November 6th, we celebrated the third and final Wiese brothers marriage uniting @page.wiese and @twiese47 in matrimony. We’re not sure we could’ve asked for a better day as these two begin their life journey together! Congratulations! 🥂

It was a joy catching up with fellow Hereford breeders in Kansas City for 2021 @americanherf Annual Meeting. The greatest highlight of the weekend though was watching our uncle @bruceeverhart56 assume helm as president of the national board. We know you’ll do an incredible job and look forward to your guidance and leadership over the next year! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #herefords #gooddoin #bulls #americanherefordassociation #2021 #annual #meeting #president

As of recently, our Spring 2021 calf crop has begun to hit its stride and take shape! Calves sired by Prominent, Long Haul, and the ever-reliable King Ten; it looks as if our offering next year should be a powerful and attractive set to select from! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #calves #2021 #spring #calfcrop #stout #powerful
We had the pleasure of hosting Jordan Eggman, David Bruene, and Dan Thomson of the Animal Science department at Iowa State University this afternoon. As fellow Cyclone alumni ourselves, we always enjoy catching up with faculty discussing genetics, conservation practices, and of course all things Iowa State! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #cattle #bulls #iowastateuniversity #animalscience #department #pasture #tour
Thank you to the Beef Improvement Federation for allowing us to be a stop on your producer tour this beautiful Friday afternoon.

As many prepare for drought-like conditions across the country, Herefords continue to prove why they are some of the most dependable cattle in the industry. Due to their high efficiency, Herefords show resilience even in some of the most challenging of environmental hardships. There’s no better time to #comehometohereford! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #gooddoin #bulls #cows #drought #resilience
