Shipp Homestead

Shipp Homestead, Hereford breeder in Itasca, Texas, has been raising cattle in Hill County and central Texas near Dallas. For more than 15 years they have worked with the American Hereford Association and maintain regular health testing to ensure calving ease and strong temperament. Their herd is registered and documented through established breed records.

The cattle graze on mixed prairie grasses and receive tailored nutrition to support steady growth. Calves are handled from birth to build confidence and socialization before they join the main herd. During calving season, sheltered pastures are prepared to ensure cow and calf safety, reflecting the farm’s focus on maternal traits and adaptability. Family owned and operated, Shipp Homestead blends traditional ranching methods with rotational grazing for soil health and herd wellbeing. Detailed health and weight records are maintained for each animal, reflecting a commitment to transparency.
