Scott also feeds cattle of his own alongside customer cattle, which influences how the operation runs. Care, timing, and decisions are handled the same way across the board, with attention paid to the details that matter over the long haul.

The operation currently feeds approximately 800 head of cattle, with pen sizes designed for 60- and 120-head groups, allowing for close observation and manageable handling. There is room to grow, and expansion is planned as the operation continues to develop. While SPF isn’t a large corporate feedyard, the facilities and daily routines are set up with purpose. Pens and handling areas are managed to keep cattle settled and moving smoothly. Cattle are checked regularly, and care is adjusted as needed rather than set and forgotten.

By keeping cattle feeding, livestock hauling, and coordination in-house, SPF avoids unnecessary handoffs and confusion. The work stays organized, communication stays clear, and responsibility stays where it belongs. The goal isn’t to be the biggest operation — it’s to run a dependable one that does the work right, day in and day out.

At its core, Scott Perkins Farms is built on honest work, experience earned over time, and a commitment to doing right by the cattle, the land, and the people involved.
