Rusty Samuelson

Rusty Samuelson is a Hereford cattle breeder in Decorah, IA, serving Winneshiek County and the Driftless Area near Rochester. Rusty Samuelson follows established breeding standards, participates in national registration programs, and conducts routine health screenings of its cattle.

Calves are raised on open pasture with daily handling to promote their calm temperaments. Adults graze in a rotational system that supports soil and forage health while encouraging natural behaviors. Their cattle are often noted for a gentle disposition and steady growth rates, reflecting a balanced approach to nutrition and attentive management.

The family-owned farm reflects decades of local agricultural experience and focuses on sustainable practices suited to northeast Iowa’s rolling hills. Visitors often comment on the peaceful setting and the careful attention given to each animal’s well-being. Each calf receives individualized care during its first few weeks to encourage healthy development.
