Bare5 Ranch

Bare5 Ranch is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Salem, MO, serving Dent County and the Ozark Highlands near Springfield. They are registered with the American Hereford Association, uphold breed standards through regular shows, and conduct routine health screenings for genetic disorders common to the breed. Ownership maintains detailed digital records of lineage, growth, and performance metrics to uphold transparency and quality across the herd.

Calves receive daily socialization with handlers to support calm dispositions, and each follows a vaccination schedule overseen by a local veterinarian. Pastures are managed with rotational grazing on fenced acreages to promote soil health, control parasite loads, and ensure a balanced diet of grasses and legumes. Facilities include shaded feeding areas and creek-side water troughs, reflecting the ranch’s care-focused approach. Local farmers often note the gentle temperament, improved feed efficiency, and steady weight gain of the offspring.
