About k4 cattle company

We are Chris and Laurie Kahlich, owners and operators of K 4 Cattle in Hereford Texas.  We were both raised in Hereford Texas by parents that taught us to be honest and work hard.  We've been married for over 32 years and started it all on a wing and a prayer!  The Lord has truly blessed us and our family.  We have two son's that have been a true blessing, two wonderful daughter-in-laws and two incredible granddaughters.  We hope they all will be able to live the life of opportunity and success that we have. 

The Saler Cow - There is not a better cow out there when it comes to breeding, calving, and leading a 600 pound calf to the house all on her own year after year. In 1995 my wife and two sons left the big city and moved back to Hereford Texas to own our own business, and get more involved in the cattle operation. My sons began showing steers to keep busy and out of trouble. Over the next ten years we raised a few and purchased a few really good calves, and had very good success in the show ring. Not to mention, a lot of good memories. In 2009 my dad decided to retire from all three of his jobs leaving my wife and I with the cattle operation all to ourselves. Here we are today raising a nice group of Saler and Saler cross cows along with a few club calf makers in hopes our grandchildren will have a few good ones to drag in the ring as well. 

K 4 Cattle Company was established in 1995. However, the dream of our current operation started many years earlier when my dad took a group of purebred Hereford cows as payment for pasture rent. That would have been somewhere around 1965. Growing up on a farm and helping with the small cow calf operation became a true love for me. Along with the cattle also came horses. Somewhere around 1968 my dad was given a black mare for penning a group of horses that had been out and missing for several days. I grew up riding that mare bareback all around our part of the country, igniting a love for horses just the same. After extensive research, my dad and I decided to sell all existing cows and partner on a group of Saler cattle. The best decision we ever made.  Neither of us had the time to look after calving cows continually, and the Salers cows were just the answer.  Call Chris at 806-601.3436
