Shellie Collins

Shellie Collins breeds Hereford cattle in Chattanooga, Oklahoma, Comanche County and southwestern Oklahoma near Lawton. Shellie brings a depth of expertise in genetics and herd management developed over years of dedicated practice. A member of the American Hereford Association, she follows recommended health protocols including regular veterinary exams and genetic screening for traits such as calving ease.

The cattle graze on native grass pastures and youngstock are socialized from birth, receiving hands-on care to ensure smooth transitions to pasture life. The farm embraces a low-stress handling philosophy with facilities that include shaded loafing areas, rotational grazing paddocks, and sheltered calving stalls.

Autumn-born calves join their dams on range and receive supplemental hay during colder months. Calves are monitored around the clock during the first weeks to support robust health and steady growth. Animals are selected for structural soundness and balanced temperament, reflecting a multi-generation commitment to quality stewardship.
