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. It was a pleasure to share our history and philosophys with cattlemen and women both locally and internationally and hope you all enjoyed time here in the great state of Iowa! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #cattle #beefimprovementfederation #tour
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
Each year we strive to naturally build the very best cow herd we can by utilizing the tools and resources around us. Today we took another step forward in helping us accomplish just that:
Yearling Weights: ✅
Hip Heights: ✅
Pelvic Measurements: ✅
Carcass Ultra Sounding: ✅
Genomic DNA Testing: ✅
Like the wise folks say... “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #hiefers #datacollection #ultrasounding
We had a blast at the 2021 4-H Livestock Clinic yesterday. Roughly 45 kids participated in the beef segment where we covered topics such as cattle nutrition, care and handling, and show ring etiquette. We want to wish all attendees the very best of luck as you begin your beef projects this year! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #cattle #youth #4h #showclinic
We’re officially 8 days into the 2021 calving season and we’ve already welcomed 142 new Hereford babies into the world all sired by natural service. A wise man by the name of Gene Wiese once said “In the cattle industry, fertility is king!” and even through one of the most drought stricken areas of Iowa back in the summer of 2020 our herd sires and females have lived up to that motto! 🙏 #teamhereford #wieseandsons #herefordcattle #cattle #calves #sunset #calvingseason2021
It may currently feel like -24 degrees out but scenery like this can warm your heart right up... #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #heifers #2021 #iowabeefexpo #sunset
We’re taking the time to administer pre-calving vaccinations to these Wiese matrons this foggy morning. It won’t be too long now until the next generation of “Good Doin’” genetics begin to hit the ground! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #hereford #cows #foggy #morning #calving2021
It never takes long for the yearling bulls to get nestled into their fresh bedding! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #gooddoin #bulls #fresh #bedding #happycattle
Though 2020 has proved challenging for many; we’ve been blessed with one final breathtaking morning here on the ranch. We’d like to thank our friends, family and customers for believing in us as we continue our families mission to develop the best “Good Doin’ Bulls” we possibly can for the beef industry! God bless and we wish all of you a prosperous 2021 and beyond! #teamhereford #wieseandsons #herefords #winterwonderland
