Cathey Cattle Co.

Cathey Cattle Co., miniature hereford cattle, and Weatherford, TX, is rooted in North Texas and the Fort Worth area. Founded over a decade ago, Emery Glassinger is a member of the American Hereford Association and Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, with all breeding stock evaluated for fertility, structural soundness and genetic traits. The ranch practices low-stress handling and rotational grazing, offering covered loafing sheds and spring-calving pastures that support calf health and vigor.

Each calf is nurtured from birth on family-managed fields and socialized daily to develop steady growth rates and calm temperaments suited for small farms or youth programs. Drawing on five generations of regional ranching knowledge, the operation applies sustainable soil and herd management techniques to maintain pasture health. Local buyers often note the uniformity of coat patterns and the consistent weight gains displayed by weaning age, reflecting the ranch’s careful record keeping and hands-on approach. Seasonal farm visits highlight herd health protocols and handling routines, offering insights into daily care practices.
