Ashwood Cattle Company

Ashwood Cattle Company raises Hereford cattle in Haskell, OK, serving Haskell County in southeast Oklahoma near Tulsa. For more than 25 years, its small-scale, registered herd has been managed under American Hereford Association guidelines with regular health screenings for calving ease, structural soundness and genetic diversity.

Calves are born on irrigated grasslands and spend the first months in shaded paddocks, where daily handling helps develop calm behavior and makes turnout to open pastures more seamless. Once weaned, young cattle follow a tailored vaccination and deworming schedule overseen by a local veterinarian. Soil fertility is maintained through rotational grazing and cover crops, reflecting the owners’ commitment to sustainable pasture management.

A multi-generational homestead since 1950, the operation values balanced conformation, fertility and maternal traits that contribute to lasting herd improvements. Neighbors often praise the uniformity in weight gain and temperament found across the herd, a sign of the farm’s hands-on care and selective approach.
