Gabe Dewitt

Gabe Dewitt raises Chianina cattle in Blakesburg, IA, in Wapello County and the Des Moines area. He has maintained breeding stock for more than a decade, works with the Chianina Society of America on registry programs and follows comprehensive health screening protocols. His herd grazes on rotational pastures and calves spend early weeks in close contact with handlers to encourage calm temperaments.

The farm balances open fields with climate-controlled barns that protect cattle through Iowa’s variable seasons and uses sustainable forage rotations for pasture health. Dewitt offers occasional farm tours to share best practices with fellow breeders and buyers. He manages a select number of breeding cows to focus on individual care and genetic evaluation. This methodical approach supports transparent lineage documentation and contributes to robust herd development.
