Wilson Farms

Wilson Farms, Chianina cattle, Creston, IA, southwest Iowa near Des Moines.

Managed by the Wilson family, the pasture-based operation builds on multi-generational experience in cattle raising, with herds registered through the American Chianina Association and routine health screenings for bloodlines and maternal traits. It collaborates with veterinary specialists on genetic monitoring, follows vaccination and deworming schedules, and participates in regional livestock events to share breeding insights.

Cattle graze expansive pastures, access open barns for shelter, and receive tailored nutrition alongside daily handling to foster gentle, confident temperaments. The breeding program emphasizes sound conformation, ease of calving, and maternal performance, while sustainable grazing practices support long-term soil health and pasture resilience. The cattle are known among regional producers for sturdy frames and docile dispositions, and spring-born heifers, bulls, and feeder calves regularly reflect consistent quality across generations of breeding stock. Visitors often mention the farm’s welcoming atmosphere, well-maintained facilities, and knowledgeable family members willing to discuss herd management practices.
