A BIT ABOUT US...
Grandpa Gus Hueftle was a Herford breeder and his son Karl followed suit until he bought his first Red Angus bull from Sally Forbes in 1970.
Karl and son Neil acquired additional cows and kept building the herd. At one point they sold bulls to Leachman Cattle Company in Billings, Mont., when extra sires were needed for a crossbreeding program designed for the King Ranch in southern Texas.
Karl and Neil eventually became Leachman cooperators in the late 1980s. While they were affiliated with the hairpin brand, they produced a number of notable herd sires including Above and Beyond, Cheyenne, Gravity and Jewel Maker. In 2004, Neil and Anita began selling bulls in Nebraska under the HX brand.Hueftle Cattle Company continues to be a Red Angus cow/calf operation that strives to produce cutting edge genetics, excelling in multiple traits, that meet the needs of both the registered and commercial producers.
