Theresa Wilke

Theresa Wilke raises Hereford cattle in Edna, TX, in Jackson County and the Gulf Coast near Corpus Christi. She follows American Hereford Association guidelines, conducts annual health tests and keeps detailed records of heart, eye and overall wellness for every animal in her breeding herd. The animals graze on rotated pastures and receive daily interaction, building a calm temperament and strong social bonds.

Her approach traces back to her family’s roots in local ranching, where sustainable practices and careful record keeping have guided breed selection for generations. Buyers often note the consistent structure and gentle disposition of the calves, reflecting her steady commitment to good husbandry. She participates in regional livestock shows and shares insights with neighboring ranchers to promote best practices across the community. Calves are weaned according to their developmental readiness and introduced to safe new pastures in small groups to reduce stress.
