Cato Cattle Company

Cato Cattle Company raises Chianina cattle in Mcalester, OK, in Southeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa. The family has bred Chianina for more than ten years, employs DNA parentage verification, and follows breed association standards with routine health screenings to support strong genetics and well-being.

Their cattle graze on open pasture with native grasses, access to shaded loafing areas and shelter, and each animal receives daily handling to promote calm dispositions. Combining traditional ranch methods with a focus on animal comfort, they encourage natural herd interactions throughout the year.

Nathan and Abby Cato oversee every stage from birth through growth, ensuring steady weight gain and balanced development. Regular evaluations by a local veterinarian and detailed record keeping support transparency and ongoing health oversight. Calving takes place on-site during spring and fall, allowing calves to benefit from maternal care in a calm, familiar setting.
