2009 marks our 100th year raising registered Horned Herefords in the Sandhills of Nebraska, as well as our 102nd year of ranching. John's grandparents moved to Callaway in 1907 to ranch and raise 11 children, the youngest being John's dad Paul. Our 2 sons and 4 daughters are the 4th generation of Ridders.

Calving season has been underway since March 1 and is going extremely well. Our emphasis is on producing calves with lower birth weights, good carcass figures, pigmentation, and milk.

You are invited to come visit us whenever you can slip away from your work at home. Just give us a call and we'll show you around.
