Waitley Farms

Waitley Farms, Limousin cattle in Leavenworth, KS, is nestled in northeast Kansas near Kansas City. Since its founding, the farm has participated in national registry programs and maintains detailed pedigrees for each animal, with routine health screenings for common conditions.

Calves are raised outdoors on rotational pasture with daily handling to encourage gentle temperaments and early socialization. Pastures are rotated seasonally to optimize forage diversity and soil health, and buildings and pens are cleaned regularly and located near the farmhouse to allow consistent oversight. Embracing sustainable grazing practices, the operation aims for balanced genetics that support both meat quality and maternal instincts valued by regional ranchers. The farm maintains a modest herd size to ensure individual attention from calving through finishing.

Owner Derek Waitley brings deep experience in sustainable livestock management, ensuring each animal receives attentive care throughout its life. Visitors note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and transparent records that support informed decisions.
