The Mcgill Family

The Mcgill Family is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Iva, SC, Anderson County and the Upstate near Greenville. With a commitment to sound genetics, the Mcgill Family participates in registry programs and conducts health testing on all breeding stock.

Their herd is managed on open pasture with rotational grazing, access to shade and shelter in every season, and regular gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments. Calves grow alongside their mothers in a herd setting that supports natural social behavior and steady weight gain. A family-run operation spanning several generations, the farm focuses on structural soundness and lasting temperament rather than short-term gains.

Local buyers often remark on consistent quality and a straightforward, neighborly approach to support after purchase. They record performance metrics such as growth rates and feed efficiency to help buyers match livestock to their farming objectives. Each animal receives visual appraisal for muscling and foot structure as part of the family’s selection process.
