Briggsmiller Ranch

Briggsmiller Ranch breeds Hereford cattle in Rocky Comfort, MO, in southwest Missouri near Springfield.

Hereford cattle from this ranch are known for their calm disposition and consistent beef quality, reflecting careful, decades-long selection. The Briggsmiller family has guided the operation for three generations and holds membership in regional cattle associations to stay aligned with best practices. Each animal undergoes annual health screenings, vaccination and parasite monitoring, plus genetic evaluations focused on maternal strength and disease resistance.

Calves graze freely on native grasses and receive daily interactions to foster trust and ease handling. Sustainable grazing rotations and soil conservation measures help preserve pasture health year-round. Local 4-H participants and neighbors often note the ranch’s welcoming atmosphere and straightforward approach to livestock. A simple network of shaded loafing areas, clean watering stations and open-range layouts reduces stress and supports natural herd behaviors.
