Starkey Farm Livesock

Starkey Farm Livesock breeds Simmental cattle in Lovell, Wyoming, in the Bighorn Basin near Cody. The farm is committed to ethical breeding practices and has been raising Simmental for several years under the guidelines of major breed associations. Each year, all cattle undergo regular veterinary health checks and genetic screening to support strong maternal traits and overall herd health.

Cattle graze on open pasture with access to shelter designed for local weather conditions, and calves are socialized daily to promote calm temperaments. The farm’s approach emphasizes low-stress handling and balanced selection for growth and fertility, a method that colleagues often note for its consistency. Livestock experience a rotational grazing schedule that enhances soil health and forage diversity. The family-owned operation blends modern husbandry with respect for the land, fostering resilient herds suited to regional climates. Breeding selections focus on balanced weight gains and maternal instincts to support both commercial and seedstock needs.
