MCW Club Calves

MCW Club Calves, Chianina cattle, Hays, KS in northwest Kansas near Salina, raises club calves selected for balanced conformation and steady temperament. It follows registry guidelines from the American Chianina Association and performs routine health testing on fertility, weight gain and structural soundness.

Pasture is the primary environment for its breeding cows and calves, with mixed forage rotated seasonally to support growth and hoof health. Daily handling by the Werth family ensures the calves are comfortable around people before they join 4-H or FFA programs. Owner Mary C Werth contributes more than a decade of agricultural education experience to breeding decisions and livestock management.

Each calf leaves with detailed health records and guidance on feeding, housing and vaccination schedules for the new owner. The small herd size allows for personalized attention to maternal traits and consistent growth performance across generations. This approach supports predictable outcomes for youth exhibitors aiming to develop beef projects.
