Walton Ranch

Walton Ranch raises registered hereford cattle on managed pastures in Kermit, TX, in the Permian Basin near Odessa. Owner John B. Walton draws on years of hands-on experience and family tradition on this ranch to manage breeding selection and maintain herd health. The ranch maintains detailed breeding records, follows breed best practices, and works with veterinarians to ensure cattle receive regular health screenings.

Animals live on open pastures with sheltered loafing areas, allowing natural behaviors to develop. Social interaction is encouraged from an early age, with calves spending time alongside older cattle to build confidence and social skills. Select bloodlines with focus on maternal traits and balanced growth are prioritized for consistency in temperament and quality. Walton Ranch’s family-run approach has fostered strong relationships with local buyers who appreciate steady performance. Rotational grazing supports pasture health and helps maintain consistent weight gains.
