Show cattle have been our life. Put that experience behind yours.

For decades, we’ve raised, selected, fitted, shown and judged them. We help families find the right calf, then give them the expertise, support and education to succeed.

The right calf can change the whole project.

A cool photo doesn’t tell you whether a calf fits your kid, your timeline or your goals. Weight, disposition, structure and how he’ll feed all matter. That’s why we want families to come here, look at cattle with us and talk through the project before they buy.

We want kids to have a good experience, learn something, and leave wanting to do it again.

Over thirty years. Hundreds of champions.

From county fairs to major shows, Ward cattle have been part of winning projects for generations of families.

We’ve looked at a lot of cattle over the years.

Raising and showing them, and judging shows like Fort Worth, Tulsa and Louisville, taught us what’s non-negotiable: structure, disposition, feeding ability and fit for the kid and project.

We bring that eye to the cattle we raise, buy and help families select.

The cow side matters.

Cows that stand the test of time and go on to make an impact on the industry through their progeny.

Every Ward calf comes with a year of Show Smart.

We built Show Smart around our own program and what we do here every day. Thousands of kids have used it through high school agriculture programs across the country. Ward families get a full year of access with their calf.

Come look at cattle.

Tell us what show you’re looking for, when it is, what your goals are and your budget. Then come see us. We’ll look through the cattle together and help you find one that fits.
