WHAT WE DO
We are a progressive, family-owned farming operation located in Ridgway, Illinois. Today we exist as two entities, Maloney Farms Inc. specializing in row crop and Maloney Cattle Company, specializing in feed and cattle production. Value, education, and passion are extremely important in our organization. We care about the success of our customers just as we do our own organization.
MALONEY CATTLE COMPANY
MALONEY CATTLE COMPANY
When we started Maloney Cattle Company, we wanted to help other cattle feeders like us. With Luke’s background in feeding cattle and commodity trading, we set out to provide value, consistency, and reliable delivery on load lot feed commodities to beef producers like us. Feed is one of the most expensive costs and the largest driver in profitability in any beef budget, so we understand how crucial it is to your success. In addition to selling feed and preconditioning cattle, we provide loads of healthy cattle to finishing operations and livestock transportation.

Our grain operation has been in the Maloney family for six generations, currently operated by Kevin Maloney and his son Luke. Our main focus is on corn, soybean, and wheat production in both Gallatin and White Counties in Illinois. We strive to practice land preservation and implement practices that offer the greatest return.
WHY DO WE FARM?
A Message from Kevin
We’ve always done-it’s in our blood. I can’t imagine a non-family member farming this ground. And for that reason, we have probably made some decisions that were not the most economical but to further the goal of passing this heritage on to the next generations. So we do things that protect the land for the future. There’s an old saying that we are don’t inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
