Carlson Cattle

Carlson Cattle breeds Hereford cattle in Royal Center, IN, Cass County and the North Central Indiana region near Kokomo. With more than fifteen years of focused breeding, they participate in American Hereford Association programs and perform regular health testing for traits like calving ease and structural soundness. Their cattle graze on managed pastures enriched with native grasses and enjoy access to open loafing sheds during winter months to promote comfort and growth.

Calves receive gentle handling from birth, spending time with family members each day to support a calm temperament and easier herd integration. The operation follows sustainable practices, including rotational grazing and custom forage blends, rooted in a family tradition of livestock farming. Feed rations are adjusted seasonally based on body condition scoring and forage quality analysis. This commitment has fostered strong relationships with buyers and veterinarians who appreciate consistent quality and reliable herd health.
