Richard Cattle

Richard Cattle in Grand Chenier, LA, breeds Brahman cattle in southwest Louisiana near Lake Charles.

With a focus on maintaining breed standards, the farm participates in national herd improvement programs, follows recommended health testing protocols, and has been recognized by the Brahman Breeders Association. Its cattle graze on native coastal grasses and are rotated across pasture sections, and calves are handled daily to ensure calm temperaments. The family-run operation has served local ranchers for generations, and customers often note the consistent quality and gentle disposition of its livestock.

Facilities include shaded resting areas, windbreak shelters, and reliable water sources that support herd well-being year-round. Breeding decisions balance structural soundness and adaptability to coastal environments, using data records and sire performance reports to reflect a long-term commitment to the region’s ranching traditions. Each year, bulls and cows undergo conformation evaluation and genetic screening, ensuring only individuals with strong feet and legs enter the breeding program.
