Brett Montgomery

Brett Montgomery raises Hereford cattle at a family ranch in Brookfield, MO, Linn County and north-central Missouri near Kansas City.

A registered member of the American Hereford Association, he has been breeding for over a decade with regular entries in regional livestock shows and thorough health testing of breeding stock. Calves undergo routine screening for structural soundness and genetic conditions before joining the herd to ensure stable temperament and physical resilience.

The cattle graze on open pastures supplemented with mineral-rich feed and receive daily handling that fosters calm behavior around people. Breeding decisions balance traits like muscling, fertility and docility to meet the needs of both commercial operations and smaller family farms. The ranch employs rotational grazing to maintain pasture health, support sustainable forage growth and minimize environmental impact on soil and water resources. Prospective buyers note consistent animal quality, clear pedigrees and detailed health records provided with each yearling and breeding pair.
