R Schlegel & Sons

R Schlegel & Sons raise Hereford cattle in Olney, TX, Young County and the North Texas region near Fort Worth. They have been working with this breed for over two decades, follow breed registry guidelines, maintain routine health screenings for breeding stock, and implement genetic screening.

Daily care includes rotational grazing on native grasses, individual health monitoring, carefully balanced nutrition and socialization around family routines. Calves are born and raised under watchful eye, which supports strong maternal bonding before gradual introduction to shared communal pastures each spring. Their emphasis on low-stress handling and adaptation to local climate earns positive remarks from neighboring ranchers who value consistency of temperament and condition.

Visitors note the serene farm setting and the herd’s healthy weight gains, reflecting a balanced regimen suited to local seasons. The family’s hands-on approach extends to detailed record keeping, ensuring traceability from birth through departure from the ranch.
