Farmer Land & Cattle

Farmer Land & Cattle, Chianina cattle, Simms, TX in Lamar County near Texarkana. Mike Farmer has focused on breed standards through active membership in regional cattle associations and routine health screenings, ensuring calves meet or exceed recommended growth milestones. The herd rotates through shaded pastures and open fields, with water troughs refreshed daily, to support natural exercise and grazing habits. Calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments and early human interaction that supports ease of management.

The operation emphasizes sustainable pasture management and soil health, integrating cover crops and rotational grazing. Each animal receives personalized attention, with calves and cows moved to fresh paddocks regularly and offered trace-mineral supplements suited for Chianinas. Routine veterinary check-ups are scheduled to monitor herd health and guide breeding decisions. This philosophy of low-stress care has earned positive feedback from neighboring ranchers and area farmers.
