T5 Livestock

T5 Livestock raises Shorthorn cattle in Dalhart, TX, maintaining healthy bloodlines in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. Kurtis Thomas has been breeding Shorthorn for over ten years and holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association, with routine genetic and fertility screenings. Its cattle graze on sunlit pastures under a rotational system that supports land stewardship and natural growth, and daily handling helps develop calm, balanced temperaments.

The farm balances traditional ranching methods with modern record keeping to track lineage and performance. Calving areas are sheltered barns with ample bedding and ventilation, allowing close monitoring of newborns. A focus on temperament has led to herds noted for ease of handling and consistency across generations.

It collaborates with local veterinarians for quarterly herd health visits and maintains detailed records of vaccinations and hoof care. Visitors often comment on the quiet environment and attentive staff, reflecting the farm’s dedication to respectful animal interactions.
