Gittings Family Farms

Gittings Family Farms, Chianina cattle breeders in Milan, MO, northwest Missouri near St. Joseph, is a family-run operation dedicated to raising healthy, well-socialized animals. They follow national breed council guidelines and conduct routine health screenings to ensure calves meet breed standards.

Their cattle graze on open pastures with rotational grazing practices and are handled daily to promote calm temperaments. They draw on decades of family farming experience, and local producers note the consistent weight gains and sturdy confirmations of their calves. Their transparent approach to communication and attention to detail has built a network of returning customers across the local area.

In colder months the herd is sheltered in a well-ventilated barn and fed a balanced ration formulated with input from a local feed specialist. All breeding stock undergoes genetic evaluation and performance tracking before joining the program to maintain herd health and productivity.
