Dillabo Livestock

Dillabo Livestock specializes in Shorthorn cattle in Live Oak, CA, serving Sutter County and the Sacramento Valley near Sacramento. David R Dillabo has been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years and participates in national breed registries with regular health screenings and clear records. Its cattle graze on well-managed pastures and receive daily attention through hands-on socialization from birth to maturity.

The operation combines family farm traditions with sustainable practices, rotating grazing areas to support soil health and biodiversity. Calves are handled gently in the barn setting to build calm temperaments, and the farm’s layout allows cattle to roam in open fields while having shelter nearby. Dillabo Livestock values transparency in its breeding program, sharing lineage information and health test results on request. It maintains detailed records on feed plans and pasture rotations to ensure consistent nutrition and minimize environmental impact. Seasonal rest periods allow pastures to recover and promote diverse plant growth.
