Cardinal Cattle Co.

Cardinal Cattle Co. breeds Chianina cattle in Wyoming, Illinois, serving West Central Illinois and Peoria. The farm adheres to recommended health screenings, provides routine veterinary oversight, and maintains detailed records through recognized cattle registries for consistency and transparency.

Animals are raised on open pasture with access to shelter and receive daily low-stress handling to support even temperaments and strong social bonds. Seasonal rotational grazing supports soil health and diverse forage diets across multiple pasture tracts. Their breeding program emphasizes balanced conformation and maternal traits to ensure calving ease and steady growth rates within herd management plans.

Owner Jack Riley brings generations of family farming experience to selective matings and provides ongoing support for new owners. Select cattle have been noted at regional fairs for structural balance and dependable performance under varied grazing conditions. Calves stay with dams until natural weaning, and replacement heifers are evaluated for temperament before joining the breeding herd.
