Elliott Cattle Co.

Elliott Cattle Co. are breeders of Shorthorn cattle in Petersburg, IL, serving central Illinois near Springfield. They have been breeding Shorthorn cattle for more than 25 years and hold membership with the American Shorthorn Association, supporting genetic testing, herd reporting, and performance recording. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures, and calves are raised with daily handling to foster calm dispositions and early socialization.

Bill Elliott and Brian Elliott manage the family farm with roots in regional agriculture, blending traditional practices with modern herd health protocols. Their herd spans 100 breeding cows across rolling fields, supplying locally minded farmers with bulls and heifers noted for structural soundness. Routine hoof care and a focus on balanced nutrition aim to enhance fertility and longevity throughout the herd.

Seasonal calving begins in spring, allowing calves to thrive outdoors and adapt to pasture life before winter. Facilities include dedicated calving pens and a detached office for record keeping and customer consultations.
