CRAIG DEHAAN 
| PRESIDENT Craig DeHaan and his wife, Sandi, have raised four children on the family farm in Iowa, where Craig was born and still resides. Though his professional career is in banking, his passion for cattle led him to Miniature Herefords — a journey that began at the Iowa State Fair. Today, Craig and his partners raise both show-quality and meat-focused Miniature Herefords, and he co-founded Prairieland Premium Meat, a branded beef label processed at The Cut, a butcher shop run by his son-in-law. His son works in veterinary pharmaceuticals, extending the family’s impact across the livestock industry. With grandchildren on the way, Craig looks forward to the next generation continuing the legacy in the show ring. | CONTACT 22CATTLECOMPANY@GMAIL.COM 712.395.8822 ORANGE CITY, IA |
DAN WILEY
| VICE PRESIDENT Daniel Wiley’s journey to farming began in the city but was rooted in weekends spent on his grandparents’ farms. Over two decades ago, he and his wife, Heather, turned that early inspiration into reality by purchasing a small hobby farm — now home to 4 Wiley Farm, LLC. While Daniel works full-time as a General Manager in HVAC, his passion lies in raising high-quality Miniature Herefords alongside Heather and their son, Isaac. The family is also expanding their grass-fed beef program, delivering premium meat with a focus on flavor and sustainability. Their younger son, Walker, contributes his fitting and clipping expertise, keeping the show cattle ring-ready. A vocal advocate for the breed, Daniel believes visibility drives growth and opportunity. Through the MHBA and the show ring, he continues to champion Miniature Herefords and the community that surrounds them. | CONTACT DANWILEY1@EMBARQMAIL.COM 614.738.2121 MOUNT VERNON, OHO |
