Shockley Ranch Herefords

Shockley Ranch Herefords is a Hereford cattle breeder in Poteau, OK, Le Flore County and the Arkansas River Valley near Fort Smith. The ranch has been raising Hereford cattle for more than twenty years and holds membership in the American Hereford Association.

Each calf is born and nurtured in pasture paddocks that encourage natural foraging, and the herd undergoes routine genetic testing along with quarterly veterinary evaluations. A focus on gentle handling and early socialization ensures cattle are calm around farm staff and used to daily care, while solid maternal lines contribute to herd resilience. Shockley Ranch Herefords blends traditional ranching practices with modern health protocols, and its cattle have received awards at regional fairs and livestock shows.

Shaded loafing sheds and rotational grazing paddocks support cattle health through warm Oklahoma seasons, and ample clean water is available at all times. The ranch’s commitment to low-stress handling and environmental stewardship helps maintain herd fertility and delivers consistent performance across generations.
