Rachael Carlson

Rachael Carlson breeds Chianina cattle in Plattsburg, MO, in Clinton County and the Missouri River Valley near Kansas City. Over several years she has maintained registration with the American International Chianina Association and follows recommended health screening for fertility, structural soundness, and genetic conditions.

All cattle are raised on pasture with access to climate-protected shelter and receive regular handling to support calm temperaments and easy management. The herd grazes rotationally over mixed grass pastures to promote soil health and forage diversity. Her cattle have been recognized at local agricultural events for uniform conformation and steady growth, reflecting the consistency of her breeding program.

With carefully balanced nutrition and age-specific care plans, she helps each calf reach developmental milestones and prepares them for a range of farm roles. Carlson keeps detailed records of growth performance and maternal traits, aiding continuous selection for resilience and temperament.
