Herlocker Farms

Herlocker Farms is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Farlington, KS, serving Crawford County and southeastern Kansas near Pittsburg. The farm participates in recognized breed registry programs and follows industry-recommended health testing protocols, maintaining detailed records to support traceability and genetic wellness.

Calves are raised on rolling pastureland with access to shade, clean water and daily interaction to foster steady growth and gentle temperament. The operation uses rotational grazing and cover cropping to promote soil health while providing varied forage through changing seasons. Seasonal shelter and natural windbreaks protect the herd during colder months, while shaded areas and water features help mitigate heat stress in summer. A focus on balanced nutrition and trace mineral supplementation helps deliver consistent marbling scores for USDA grading.

Brad Herlocker draws on family farming traditions, adapting modern husbandry practices to honor the ranch’s rural roots and ensure dependable performance for local feeders.
