Darrel Steck & Sons

Darrel Steck & Sons raise Shorthorn cattle in Galesburg, IL, serving Knox County and the Quad Cities near Moline. This family farm has been breeding registered Shorthorns for more than two decades and holds active membership in the Shorthorn Association, with routine herd health testing for BVD, Johne’s and footrot. Calving takes place on pasture in spring and fall, and each calf is handled daily to ensure early socialization and ease of management. The herd grazes on rotational pastures supplemented by a balanced grain ration developed with a local nutritionist.

Their emphasis on balanced conformation and efficient growth shows in regular livestock shows and feedback from neighboring farms. Many yearling steers have won ribbons at county fairs, reflecting a focus on strong structure and temperament. Visitors note the welcoming barnyard and open barn design, where animals have space to roam, natural light and comfortable bedding. A history of steady herd records gives buyers confidence in predictable performance.
