Brad Lampe

Brad Lampe, Chianina cattle, Wellman, IA, is located in Washington County and eastern Iowa near Iowa City. He has been raising Chianina cattle for more than a decade under his family’s management, adhering to the American Chianina Association’s standards and maintaining comprehensive health and performance records. His cattle graze on lush rotational pastures enriched by local forage, and calves are introduced to handling pens early on to foster confidence and ease transitions.

Visitors often remark on the herd’s calm temperament and sturdy conformation, qualities that show in both show ring placings and performance evaluations. Lampe’s farm practices emphasize sustainability, with manure management plans and seasonal pasture rests that benefit soil health and animal welfare. Through steady herd expansion and open communication with neighboring producers, he maintains strong local ties and upholds a tradition of quality breeding. All animals receive individually recorded birth weights and quarterly veterinary checkups to ensure consistent herd performance.
