Our Cattle
Cresswell Cattle Company raises two complementary breeds—South Poll and Santa Gertrudis—selected for their maternal strength, forage efficiency, heat tolerance, and ability to finish beautifully on grass. Every animal in our program is developed with one goal: produce clean, nutrient-dense, grass-finished beef without vaccines, hormones, or grain.

South Poll Cattle
South Polls are known as “the Southern Mama Cow,” bred specifically for heat-tolerant, forage-based beef production. They excel on grass, maintain fertility in tough climates, and provide gentle dispositions ideal for low-stress handling. Their smaller frame and high tenderness genetics make them exceptional for finishing on grass with consistent marbling and flavor.
Key Traits:
Thrive in heat and humidity
Finish easily on grass
High fertility and longevity
Tender, mild-flavored beef
---
Santa Gertrudis Cattle
Developed in Texas, Santa Gertrudis cattle bring powerful hybrid vigor, strong maternal instincts, and unmatched adaptability to our region. Their durability, parasite resistance, and ability to perform on native forage make them a natural fit for our regenerative grazing program. When crossed or finished on grass, they deliver deep beef flavor and excellent carcass yield.
Key Traits:
Heat and drought tolerance
Strong maternal qualities
High carcass yield on grass
Hardiness in Texas forage conditions

Grass-Fed. Grass-Finished. Always.
Every animal at Cresswell Cattle Company is raised strictly on pasture. No grain, no feedlot, no shortcuts. We develop cattle on rotationally grazed grass, moving them frequently to fresh forage to maximize natural growth and animal health.
What sets our cattle apart:
100% forage-based diets
No vaccines, no hormones, no antibiotics unless absolutely necessary for humane care
Low-stress, quiet handling
Genetics selected for grass performance
