Christopher W Nation

Christopher W Nation breeds Hereford cattle in Bowling Green, MO, serving Pike County and northeast Missouri near St. Louis. With more than a decade of selective breeding and herd improvement, the operation follows American Hereford Association guidelines, conducts routine health screenings, and maintains detailed records on each animal’s lineage and wellness. Mature cows and youngstock rotate across well-managed pastures, encouraging natural foraging, robust muscle development, and positive social interactions under the watch of experienced caretakers.

Calves receive hands-on handling from an early age to foster calm behavior, ease of transport, and resilience, with individual attention that highlights temperament in every animal. Feeding programs combine grass, hay, and fortified grains tailored to seasonal needs, while shelter barns offer protection during extreme weather without limiting access to fresh air. Buyers frequently remark on predictable growth rates, uniform conformation, and the dependable disposition of the animals, attributes that stem from methodical selection and attentive management.
