Albert Larry Hill

Albert Larry Hill is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Mason City, IL, in Central Illinois near Peoria. The farm has raised Shorthorn cattle for over 20 years on rolling grasslands, and maintains membership in the American Shorthorn Association and the Illinois Beef Association. All breeding stock undergo regular genetic and health screening, including foot-and-leg evaluations and quarterly reproductive assessments, to support long-term herd quality.

Husbandry practices include rotational grazing across fenced pastures, weatherproof barns with straw bedding, and daily hands-on care that builds calm herd behavior. Calves are socialized from birth with gentle handling and monitored weaning protocols to ease transition and promote steady growth. Each animal receives a balanced diet overseen by consulting nutritionists who tailor rations to seasonal forage changes.

The rolling fields on the family property reflect decades of experience in cattle stewardship, and annual evaluations at county fairs demonstrate transparent breeding outcomes. Clients often note the herd’s consistent weight gains, docile temperaments, and traceable pedigrees when sharing feedback.
