Ratliff Cattle

Ratliff Cattle, Limousin cattle, Westphalia, KS, is based in Pottawatomie County and the Flint Hills near Manhattan. It has been raising Limousin cattle for more than a decade, and all herd members are registered with the American Limousin Association, undergo routine BVD and Johne’s disease screenings, and have complete genetic profiles. Animals graze on seasonal rotational pastures with a focus on low-stress handling, regular human interaction, and balanced nutrition to ensure steady growth.

Selection emphasizes structural soundness and maternal traits to maintain a balanced, productive herd across generations. The farm’s spring calving program has earned local praise for uniform calf growth and consistent temperaments. David Ratliff welcomes regional FFA chapters for hands-on learning during calving season and shares practical livestock care techniques. Healthy pastures and reliable water sources reflect the operation’s commitment to sustainable land management and long-term animal welfare.
