Perks Ranch

Perks Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Rockford, IL, in northern Illinois near Chicago. The ranch has been raising Hereford cattle for more than a decade and holds registrations through the American Hereford Association, ensuring each animal meets established health and genetic standards. Calves are raised on open pasture and receive daily handling to promote a calm temperament, while regular veterinary screenings cover common concerns such as brucellosis and bovine respiratory health.

Charles L. Rotello manages every stage of breeding and cares for the herd on a working farm that combines traditional practices and sustainable grazing techniques. Pasture rotation on extensive acreage supports soil health and provides animals with varied forage throughout the seasons. Lineage records accompany each registered calf, reflecting a commitment to openness and quality.

An experienced local veterinarian visits regularly to oversee herd health and advise on nutrition plans.
