Chapman Cattle Co

Chapman Cattle Co is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Taylorsville, NC, Alexander County and the foothills near Charlotte. It is a member of national cattle associations and conducts routine health screenings, including BVD and Johne’s disease, to support herd well-being.

Animals graze on spacious pastures with rotational grazing practices and receive daily attention, and calves are introduced to social environments early to foster calm temperaments. The operation builds on a family farming tradition, selecting foundation lines for robust health, sound structure and maternal traits. Owners maintain detailed breeding records and share insights on conformation and growth performance at state fairs and local shows.

Each year the herd average daily gain and calving ease are recorded to aid planning and selection. Visitors describe a calm, hands-on environment where cattle appear well-adapted to local seasonal changes. Breeding goals emphasize structural soundness and maternal instincts, with slow, steady growth preferred over rapid weight gain.
