Deborah Yarick

Deborah Yarick breeds Hereford cattle in Rich Hill, MO, Bates County and the Kansas City area. With more than fifteen years of experience, she is a member of the American Hereford Association and conducts regular genetic and veterinary health screenings on all breeding stock. Her herd grazes on open pastures and is rotated seasonally to promote forage diversity and soil health.

Calves are handled daily from birth to weaning, allowing for early socialization and familiarization with farm routines. Deborah’s approach blends traditional pasture management with attentive animal welfare practices, ensuring minimal stress and robust growth rates. Feedback often highlights the herd’s calm temperament and strong maternal instincts among young cows. The farm’s location near gentle rolling hills supports winter hay production and comfortable sheltering throughout colder months.
