Holtsclaw Farms

Holtsclaw Farms, Chianina cattle, Carthage, IL, in Hancock County and west central Illinois near Quincy. Lance Holtsclaw draws on years of hands-on experience and a deep interest in breed standards to raise Chianina cattle, all registered through national associations. Open pastures surround a renovated barn, where animals receive routine health screenings, balanced nutrition and clean water daily. The farm sits on rolling fields along State Highway 94, offering a spacious, calm setting for the herd.

Each animal undergoes scheduled vaccinations, deworming and performance tracking to support consistent growth, maternal health and overall well-being. Calves experience gentle handling and early social exposure, helping them transition smoothly to farm life, community events and county fairs. Facilities include a climate-controlled barn, rotational grazing paddocks and shaded loafing areas to promote well-being. This farming approach reflects a long-term commitment to responsible breeding and animal welfare.
