Esther Mccabe

Esther Mccabe breeds Hereford cattle in Elk City, KS, in southwestern Kansas near Wichita. Her interest in cattle began in youth and she has developed a small seedstock operation focused on balanced temperament and structural soundness.

Each year she follows recommended health screenings for bovine diseases and works with local veterinarians to ensure herd wellbeing. Calves are raised on rotational pasture with access to shelter, regular handling, social time to develop calm confidence and sustainable grazing rotations to support soil health. She regularly attends regional livestock meetings and shares insights on breeding methods. Cattle receive balanced rations formulated for steady weight gain and reproductive health.

A multi generational ranch background informs her decisions on breeding stock selection and pasture management practices. One nearby rancher notes that calves from this program adapt well to different climates, remain calm during routine handling and fit seamlessly into varied operations.
