Panther Fork Cattle Company

Panther Fork Cattle Company is a Hereford cattle breeder in Texico, IL, serving southeastern Illinois near St. Louis. With more than twenty years of breeding Hereford cattle, the farm maintains memberships in national associations through selective pairing and detailed record-keeping, and follows recommended health-testing protocols for all breeding stock.

Calves are raised on pastureland that’s rotationally grazed to support well-being and land stewardship. Each animal spends time in family barns for routine handling and early socialization tailored to individual needs. A multigenerational history and thoughtful care have earned praise from local ranchers for steady growth rates and gentle temperaments. Nutrient-rich pastures are overseen with soil testing and balanced mineral programs to support reproductive health and milk production.

Modern handling facilities and sturdy fencing ensure safety during sorting and weaning processes. The operation’s biosecurity measures include quarantine protocols for new arrivals and regular veterinary checkups.
