Sheryl and Blayze Bierschwale have been raising Chianina on their Copperas Cove property for over a decade, adhering to recommended health testing, working with accredited veterinarians, and maintaining registrations with national cattle associations. Their herd grazes on open pastures managed through a rotational system, complemented by trace mineral supplementation and careful monitoring during calving season, with a focus on low-stress handling and early socialization to ensure both steady growth and a calm temperament.

The operation runs on family-owned land that has hosted livestock for generations, where infrastructure includes shade shelters, clean water troughs, and separate pens for regular health checks. Selective breeding emphasizes structural soundness and balanced frame, aiming to improve beef quality through genetic evaluation and detailed record-keeping. Local buyers often note the animals’ consistent performance and gentle dispositions, reflecting the breeders’ steady dedication to thoughtful cattle stewardship.
