Waggoner & Felicia Spurlen

Waggoner & Felicia Spurlen, Shorthorn cattle in De Leon, Texas, serve Comanche County and central Texas near Waco. They have been raising Shorthorn cattle for over a decade under American Shorthorn Association guidelines, ensuring all breeding stock undergoes genetic and health screening and is pedigreed. With a tradition of quality that spans generations, they have focused on balanced traits for beef production, maternal strength, and feed efficiency.

Their cattle graze on mixed-grass pastures with rotational grazing and have regular hoof and veterinary care, while low-stress handling guides every interaction. Calves grow alongside their mothers in open-range settings, promoting natural behavior and ease of handling. During spring calving, they provide 24-hour monitoring to support mother and calf health.

As members of the local cattlemen’s association, they contribute to community efforts and share breeding insights at fairs and workshops. The farm’s reputation for calm temperament and structural soundness reflects careful selection and attentive husbandry.
