C&K Livestock

C&K Livestock raises shorthorn cattle in Cashton, WI, in Monroe County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. Christopher Blank and Kori Blank are committed to responsible breeding, ensuring calves undergo routine health screenings, genetic evaluations, and receive personalized care from birth. On their family-run farm, cattle graze rotationally on diverse pastures, with access to shelter and clean water year-round, and gain early exposure to handling by siblings and local 4-H participants. This approach fosters calm temperaments, consistent weight gain, and resilience to seasonal changes.

They adhere to industry best practices, partnering with local veterinarians for timely vaccinations and nutritional guidance. Their emphasis on soil health and forage diversity supports the herd’s wellbeing and contributes to regenerative land management. Many offspring from the herd have garnered favorable remarks at county fairs. Each spring they evaluate breeding outcomes to refine pairing strategies and improve herd performance over time.
