Alexis Black

Alexis Black breeds Hereford cattle in Streator, IL, in north-central Illinois near Peoria. The operation has been raising registered Hereford cattle for over a decade, follows American Hereford Association health screening guidelines and works closely with local veterinarians to monitor herd wellness.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures managed for forage diversity, including clover-rich fields and shaded oak paddocks, and are regularly handled from birth to encourage calm behavior. Calving barns are designed for individual care during birthing seasons, and calves benefit from daily low-stress interactions. This hands-on approach extends to summer breeding programs that emphasize genetic vigor and maternal traits.

Clients often remark on the herd’s consistent temperament and strong confirmation, reflecting the farm’s focus on structural soundness and longevity. Embryo transfer techniques and artificial insemination are employed selectively to sustain reliable performance across generations. The farm’s remote rural setting ensures low-stress environments year-round.
