Thorne Cattle Co.

Thorne Cattle Co., Chianina cattle, Dalhart, TX, Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. Bill Thorne draws on years of ranching experience to run this family-owned ranch with a focus on breeding sturdy, adaptable cattle that meet established industry standards.

They adhere to breed association guidelines and conduct routine health screenings for fertility, calving ease, and growth rates. The herd grazes on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses and seasonal forage, and animals receive daily attention from staff to encourage calm handling. This thoughtful approach supports steady weight gain and minimizes stress during weaning.

Calves are born and raised on site in sheltered pens before moving to open-range paddocks, allowing for consistent socialization and robust development. Buyers often comment on the consistent temperament and structural soundness of the cattle. Several reviewers note the comprehensive records on lineage and health testing that accompany each animal.
