PIEDMONTESE | PROFILE
WHO WE ARE
If Home Is Where The Heart Is,
Dennis & Jeanette Hennerberg Found It Long Ago.
From The Altar To The Farm, Home Has Been South
Of Diller, Nebraska Since 1968 When They Married.
I have moved less than a mile in sixty one years so
I know the area quite well. My wife and I have three
children and five grandchildren. We have raised cattle
all of our life and we love the temperament of the Piedmontese
breed. We also love the lean and tender meat
that the breed has to offer. I had never shown cattle
until our children entered 4H. At one time, we showed
at two county fairs, two different state fair shows, Aksarben,
The Kansas City Royal, and other beef shows.
When the kids were done with 4H and FFA we started
showing at the World Beef Expo and Louisville. Now
the grandkids are starting to show cattle. We had three
grandkids in the show ring at the Jefferson County Fair
this year. Kelsay, our oldest grandchild, will begin 4H
next year and she has already shown in Louisville and
two different county fairs in open class. She hopes to
show at Louisville in November. In addition to raising
cattle, we raise alfalfa on the land that we don’t rent
out. We also have a fertilizer business and sell fertilizer
equipment. Jeanette is a Home Health nurse and
works out of Fairbury, Nebraska.
The Piedmontese association and breed has many
fine people that we have become friends with over the
years. My wife and I always enjoy the friendship of
everyone.
