WELCOME TO MONTI WEST

Monti West Black Cattle is a 3rd generation cattle and row-crop operation located in Northeast Iowa. The family farm, purchased in 1940, previously housed Western-origin feeder cattle and a progressive corn and soybean operation. The farm ground is now primarily planted corn-on-corn.

 

The current cow herd was established in 1988 with two show heifers, and has grown to a small but elite group of maternally bred females backed by the industry’s top genetics. We strive to raise functional females that will perform in the show ring and in production.

We appreciate your interest in our program, and hope you will contact us with questions about our genetics or sale offering. Nothing is better than talking good cattle with good people!

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate more than just fireworks and cookouts. We celebrate freedom, hard work, and the American spirit that lives strong in every barn, every handshake, and every show ring across this great country.

We’re proud to be part of a community that values tradition, grit, and the next generation of livestock leaders. From the families raising the bar in the barn to those who have fought to protect our freedoms — we thank you!

Here’s to stars and stripes, stock shows, and 249 years of independence. 🎆 Happy 4th of July!
