Kendrick Cattle Company

Kendrick Cattle Company, Simmental cattle, Sheridan, WY, operates in Sheridan County and the Bighorn Basin near Billings. The ranch has been breeding Simmental for several years with herds evaluated through basic health screenings for Johne’s, BVD, and structural soundness to support fertility and longevity.

Cattle graze native grass pastures and receive gentle daily handling to develop calm temperament and ease of management. Genetic testing for common breed traits, foot and leg evaluations, and routine veterinary checks help maintain herd health across seasons. Minerals are supplemented according to soil profiles, while rotational grazing preserves plant diversity and forage quality.

The breeding program prioritizes balanced growth, maternal traits, and resilience to Wyoming’s weather patterns. Detailed performance records guide selection decisions and support local 4-H participants, youth development programs, and small-scale beef producers with carcass quality insights. Winter housing and overwinter feeding plans ensure consistent condition and minimize stress year-round.
