Ratliff Cattle

Ratliff Cattle, Limousin cattle breeders in Westphalia, KS, are part of Anderson County and east-central Kansas near Topeka. They have been raising Limousin cattle for more than a decade and maintain membership in the American Limousin Association.

David and Michelle Ratliff emphasize low-stress handling and rotational grazing on native grass pastures to promote animal health and gentle dispositions. The family maintains detailed records of feeding, growth and health assessments to guide breeding selections. Calves are introduced to daily routines from weaning onward with early socialization in open pens near the barn.

Their herd sires have produced offspring noted for strong growth and well-marbled beef, with all breeding stock screened for structural soundness and maternal traits. Visitors often remark on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the Ratliffs’ transparent approach to herd management. The multi-generational farm has built a reputation for consistency in temperament and feed efficiency.
