Welcome to Cardinal Cattle Company!

Located in central Illinois on 1300 acres of scenic strip mine ground, we are one of the few operations that have developed from a 4-H family to an elite purebred seed stock operation. For over 20+ years we have had one owner, one manager & one vision. That vision is to breed and develop maternal oriented phenotypically attractive cattle that can do the little things that make money. Easy calving cattle that can convert grass to milk and milk to pounds. We are a diversified operation that believes Angus cattle are the hub of the beef cattle business. With this philosophy in mind we obviously breed & develop an elite set of Angus genetics but can also market Chiangus, SimAngus and club calf genetics. We have been highly competitive in the show ring over the years. Most recently we bred the 2010 National Champion Chiangus & SimAngus Females at the North American Livestock Exposition.

We have an annual internet sale in October, called Diamonds in the Mine. We also market and elite set of bulls in the spring and a top quality group of bred females each year. If you have any questions about Cardinal Cattle Company please feel free to give us a call.

We have worked with many small to large operations over the years.

Make plans for a herd visit and see why our slogan is “Trust the program”.
