Moon Creek Ranch

Moon Creek Ranch is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Talihina, OK, in southeastern Oklahoma near Fort Smith. It follows American Shorthorn Association guidelines and conducts regular health tests, including genetic screening and vaccination checks, for calves and breeding stock. The cattle graze on native pastures with access to shelters and are handled gently each day to encourage calm dispositions and social bonding.

Marie C Cole brings hands-on ranch experience to every stage of breeding and focuses on maternal traits and calving ease. Calves are raised in small groups so they adapt quickly to handling and maintain steady weight gains. Local producers often comment on the uniformity and even temperament of the herds under her care. Each breeding decision balances structural soundness with feed efficiency to support ranchers in varied climates.
