Darrell & Judy McConnell

Darrell & Judy McConnell raise Hereford cattle in Republic, MO, in Greene County and the Ozarks near Springfield. They have bred Hereford cattle for several decades, are registered with the American Hereford Association and work closely with the local extension office to maintain routine veterinary health testing. Their breeding program emphasizes structural soundness and temperament, with detailed lineage records available for each animal.

At their family farm, the McConnells follow pasture-driven practices across rolling grasslands, rotating herds to support soil health and natural forage growth. Calves receive daily handling by the family from birth to develop a calm demeanor, ideal for busy farms and ranches. Their cattle have been recognized at local agricultural fairs and 4-H events, reflecting consistent quality in herd management. They offer farm visits by appointment to discuss individual herd goals and ensure a smooth transition for new owners. Biosecurity measures and comprehensive health records give buyers confidence in herd performance and long-term well-being.
