Wesley Pearman

Wesley Pearman raises Chianina cattle in Hodgenville, KY, LaRue County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. He works with these Italian beef cattle and holds memberships with national breed associations, completing routine health screenings on every animal.

Each calf is born and reared on a pasture-based system that encourages natural grazing habits alongside regular socialization with the family and other farm livestock. Wesley emphasizes low-stress handling and maintains spacious sheltered pens for winter months, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare. Balanced forage and mineral supplementation complement natural grazing to maintain optimal growth. Pasture rotation reduces parasite load and encourages a mix of grasses. His herd includes individuals that have placed at state fairs and local livestock shows, illustrating steady progress rather than headline-grabbing wins. This approach has earned him positive feedback from neighboring producers who appreciate his thorough records and gentle approach.
