Our Maternalizer cows are designed to emphasize maternal traits. These British based composites are, on average, 3/8 Red Angus, ¼ Tarentaise and 1/8 Red Poll, 1/8 South Devon, and 1/8 Devon. We feel these cows are well suited for our environment and production system. They are smaller framed, easy fleshing, early growth cows with desirable udders. We desire cows that deliver low birth weight calves without assistance. Our composite is designed to graze year round without feed inputs, given an open winter. With this genetic emphasis on low maintenance cows, and through the use of cornstalks and late spring calving, only in the case of very severe weather will any hay or supplement be fed. The winter of 2007 was the last time that any stored forages were fed to our cowherd. Some emphasis is given to carcass quality in our breed selection however; our primary focus is on fitness and convenience traits. With our composite herd, large genetic change is not our goal. Instead optimization of output and natural resources is our primary focus. High growth and more milk are not desirable because of the higher maintenance and feed costs associated with higher production. For our production system, selection for fitness and convenience traits trumps high production. Our goal is to have every cow pregnant, calve unassisted and raise a calf albeit at a lower weaning and yearling weights than most production systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/1615259065788-9BAS2G5YHD8JW3EWOI3H/DSCN1070.jpg Composite Strategy https://www.madduxcattle.com/history daily 0.75 2021-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/1615221826274-QR5L3Z75QPFUT6EHG2Y1/IMG_0014.jpg History https://www.madduxcattle.com/for-sale daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/a8cc0063-01d0-435e-ae61-76f8b3089dc0/Maddux+2026+sale+order.final.jpg For Sale - Make it stand out Revised as of 2/28/26. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/3a1e1ac4-7682-4cbd-a1d3-8fd5ce9c7079/Maddux+ad+final.jpg For Sale - Make it stand out Click to view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/319ff7e3-3234-4e5a-adae-43648562bf42/maddux+letter+2025.jpg For Sale - Make it stand out Click to view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/1375f943-8fa4-4b3a-813d-ea52c4c22bd1/Cattle+USA+logo.png For Sale - Make it stand out For technical support, click here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/461cea4f-eb2e-419f-8fcc-484f65ce046d/DV+Auction+Logo+trans.png For Sale - Make it stand out For technical support, click here. https://www.madduxcattle.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-03 https://www.madduxcattle.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-03-22 https://www.madduxcattle.com/about daily 0.75 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604588236503b366b5b6a09d/1615222474912-HS6WEBEK3N2SMADYUM63/john_julia_tomas_.jpg About - About Maddux Cattle Company is a cow/calf, yearling cattle operation located in southwest Nebraska. Taylor and Clara Maddux homesteaded the ranch in 1886, 11 miles north of Wauneta on the Stinking Water Creek. The ranch has grown today to encompass 45,000 acres of owned and leased land that sustains 2,500 mother cows and 5,000 yearlings. Native range consists of sandhills and hard land canyons that are part of the watersheds of three creeks that run through the ranch. The operation has approximately 2,500 irrigated and 600 dry land farming acres, the balance being native grass, some of which is sub-irrigated meadows. Jack and John Maddux, the third and fourth generation owner/operators of the ranch, manage the operation. Replacement heifers and cows are bred to calve in April and May. Cow/calf pairs summer on native range, calves are weaned in the early fall, and wintered in backgrounding facilities or winter grazed with supplementation of wet distillers grains. All calves, with the exception of home raised replacement heifers and bulls, then go to leased grass in the spring. Steers and heifers are marketed off grass each August as 900-pound yearlings. After weaning, cows are winter grazed on leased cornstalks from November through mid-March. Cows are then driven back home to native range roughly one month before calving. In this system, the Maddux cowherd has a full 12-month grazing system with no hay or supplement fed to the mature cowherd. Some strategic protein supplementation is used for first-calf heifers pre-calving and pre-breeding. The cowherd is a maternal composite of 5 breeds: Red Angus, Tarentaise, Red Poll, South Devon, and Devon. Cows are British in body type and production levels, with breed selection aligned with the year-round grazing and the low input production system of the ranch. https://www.madduxcattle.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2025-05-12
