Raising Top-Tier Livestock for Show Purposes at Reed Vestal Ranches
Dating all the way back to the 1930’s, the foundation of Reed Vestal Ranches, “RVR”, has been shaped by FOUR GENERATIONS of the Vestal family’s deep involvement in the stock show industry. From farmers and agricultural educators to active participants in the show cattle industry, the family’s diverse experiences have greatly influenced our successes in the bright lights and beyond the show ring. These experiences have not only expanded our knowledge but instilled a strong, generational work ethic that has created impactful businesses.
Although our show cattle operation spans in both Kansas and Texas, our audience is nationwide as we proudly serve customers throughout the United States. We believe that with absolute determination and total dedication, any goal - big or small - can be achieved. This philosophy, combined with our family’s deep-rooted connections to the cattle industry, inspired Mr. Vestal to pursue his vision further in 2019, bringing Reed Vestal Ranches to life. Today, our ranches are a direct reflection on the idea that no matter where your journey takes you, you will always find your way back home.
In 2024, we were proud to raise the Champion American steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show, who went on to be named the Reserve Grand Champion Steer of the show. This steer was 1 of 4 major show winners we RAISED from just the year 2024 alone! From American cross show stock to European crossbreeds, we offer it all as a club calf breeding operation.
In addition to our ranch-raised show cattle, we are dedicated to providing a full range of services to support our clients, whether it’s clipping, fitting, feed management, or any other show preparation needs. Our COMMITMENT is not only to produce the high quality show cattle but also to offer expert assistance throughout the entire show prep process.
It would be our honor to share our love and passion for this industry with you! We invite you to explore our website and learn more about how we continue to uphold our family traditions while striving for excellence in all that we do.
