Dan K Bixler

Dan K Bixler, Hereford cattle, Newton, IL, Southern Illinois near St. Louis. He has been raising Hereford cattle for more than a decade, maintains registrations with the American Hereford Association, and practices selective pairings that emphasize structural soundness and maternal traits.

His herd grazes on open pastures under a rotational grazing plan that supports soil health, encourages diverse forage growth, and enhances pollinator habitat. Calves receive daily handling from birth, which encourages calm temperaments and socialized behavior.

Performance metrics like average daily gain, calving ease, and feed efficiency are tracked to guide breeding selections. The farm follows standard health protocols, including routine veterinary checkups, vaccination schedules, and mineral supplementation. Old farm buildings have been retrofitted with well-ventilated shelters that provide dry bedding, ample shade, and wind protection during extreme weather, ensuring steady growth. This emphasis on thoughtful husbandry produces cattle that adapt well to varied environments and demonstrate strong maternal instincts.
