We loaded up and shipped out the first set of replacement heifers to their summer breeding pastures earlier this morning. It’s been a while, but they sure seemed excited to see that green grass again! The rest are patiently waiting for the conclusion of A.I. later this week until they join their fellow pen mates.
A special thank you to Twin Transfer of Manning, IA for getting the girls there safely!
For those who haven’t heard the news, an incredible blessing will be arriving later this year to the ranch. Kelsey and Chance will welcome their first child later this September and couldn’t be happier as they prepare to begin a new chapter in their life.
This profession has never been for the faint of heart… we have our good days and bad, not to mention it can be mentally draining… but like many others, we love what we do and wouldn’t trade it for the world. So stay strong fellow cattle producers spring is right around the corner!
It`s a cold and wet day here on the ranch, but J19 must have gotten the memo and decided to pop out the very first calf of the 2023 calving season yesterday afternoon while the weather was still favorable. It`s hard to believe another calving season is upon us, but we look forward to calving another set of stout, healthy, and vigorous calves over the coming weeks!
This lucky lady (K68 Reg: 44351607) is privileged to represent her fellow pen mates and our program later this week at the Iowa Beef Expo. Selling as lot 28 (Pick of Replacement Heifers) this Wednesday during the Iowa Select Hereford Sale, you’ll be able to select from her or roughly 85 other high-quality individuals of this caliber. We want to thank those who’ve already expressed interest and look forward to working with the buyer on this incredible opportunity!
We`d like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year! Thank you to our friends and customers for believing in us and making 2022 another one to remember. We have many goals and aspirations for the days ahead and look forward to further progressing to help you achieve your genetic demands!
As many of you have heard, Dave Wiese is running for the @americanherf national board this upcoming weekend. He’ll be traveling down to Kansas City in a few short days and looks forward to seeing old acquaintances while also developing new ones. He’d greatly appreciate your support and would be honored to serve the breed and those who are a part of it. If you have any final questions, he’d happily field a call!

We`re proud of what we do and look forward to progressing the industry while preserving the land and upholding the values that make our state so great! #wieseandsons #gooddoin #hereford #cattle #2022 #iowastatefair #waywelive #award
Earlier this morning, we rotated a good portion of our cow/calf pairs to a lush multi-species cover crop paddock as pastures begin to show signs of drought stress. Safe to say, these individuals won`t be lacking any forage in the foreseeable future. Let`s just hope they don`t get lost in this vast sea of green! #wieseandsons #gooddoin #hereford #cattle #drought #covercrops #soilhealth
The pastures are lush, cricks flowing, and the calves and crops are growing rapidly! It’s incredible how Mother Nature can change so immensely from one year to the next.
The last cow/calf pairs have been sorted and turned out with their respective herd sire for the summer! The walking bulls and A.I. sires being put to service here are looking promising and we’re already eagerly anticipating the next wave of “Good Doin’” genetics to hit the ground next spring! #wieseandsons #gooddoin #hereford #bulls #cows #pasture #sunrise
