Johnson Chiangus

Johnson Chiangus is a breeder of Chianina cattle in New Windsor, IL, in Hancock County and west-central Illinois near Macomb. It follows American Chianina Association standards and conducts routine health screenings on every animal. Cattle graze in rotational pastures and receive daily low-stress handling, helping them adapt to farm life and family environments.

Founder Terry L. Johnson brings decades of experience, focusing on structural soundness and even temperaments for both show and utility herds. Housed in a century-old stone barn, calves benefit from year-round shelter and personalized feeding programs that support steady growth. Their pasture-based approach promotes natural forage selection and significantly reduces reliance on grain feed sourced off-farm. Johnson Chiangus also participates in local fairs, where its cattle have placed well in halter classes. Visitors comment on the clean facilities and opportunities to learn about heritage breed stewardship firsthand.
