Alex O'Dell

Alex O’Dell is a Hereford cattle breeder based in Altamont, IL, Effingham County and southern Illinois near St. Louis. With more than a decade of breeding experience, Alex O’Dell is a member of the American Hereford Association and performs routine health testing on all breeding stock.

Facilities include modern barn stalls, a quarantine area and rotational grazing fields maintained year-round for optimal forage quality. Alex prioritizes low-stress handling methods and collaborates with a local veterinarian for proactive herd health care. Seasonal calving schedules align with pasture recovery cycles to support both animal welfare and sustainable land management practices on the farm.

Each calf is raised in open pasture with daily handling to foster calm temperaments and strong social bonds. The herd traces back to European bloodlines known for maternal traits and consistent weight gains at auction. Reviewers often mention the uniform growth and ease of handling exhibited by these cattle.
