Alexander Family Herefords

Alexander Family Herefords is a Hereford breeder in Milledgeville, Illinois, serving Carroll County and northern Illinois near Rockford. They have been raising Hereford cattle for more than two decades, participate in the American Hereford Association and follow recommended health-testing protocols to ensure sound genetics. Cattle graze on rotational pastures framed by mature oaks and maintain routine interactions with the family to build calm temperaments and ease of handling.

A farm founded by three generations of Alexanders, the operation blends older dryland ranching methods with modern pasture management to promote sustainability year-round. Each animal receives individualized attention from calving through finish, with detailed record-keeping that tracks growth rates and EPDs for every sire and dam. Prospective buyers often note the consistent frame size and structural soundness of their bulls and heifers.

Their bulls have won placement at county fairs and are valued for docility in mixed herd environments. The family welcomes farm visits by appointment to demonstrate pasture rotation schedules and discuss breeding goals.
