7K Livestock

7K Livestock raises Tarentaise cattle in Shoshone, Idaho, Lincoln County and the Magic Valley near Twin Falls. Founded by Andrew King, it follows a family tradition of selecting genetics suited to rugged landscapes and efficient milk and meat production. The herd undergoes regular health screenings and adheres to breed association guidelines to ensure soundness and longevity. Calves are socialized from birth and accustomed to handling in a low-stress environment.

Pasture rotations on the farm’s high desert terrain support natural foraging, strong immune development, and protein-rich grass stands nourished with trace mineral supplements. Health management includes routine Johne’s disease testing, fertility evaluations and coordinated hoof trimming to maintain overall well-being. Emphasis on temperament and structural soundness reflects an approach that yields versatile cattle for diverse operations. This focus on balanced traits has drawn positive remarks from regional ranchers who value consistency and adaptability.
