Gary S & Marilyn Wood

Gary S & Marilyn Wood raise Hereford cattle in Maysville, MO, serving DeKalb County and northwest Missouri near Kansas City. They follow breed registry guidelines and recommended health-testing protocols overseen by a veterinarian, including annual vaccinations, genetic screening for common conditions, and regular herd evaluations. Calves are handled daily from birth to encourage calm dispositions and smooth weaning experiences.

Pastures are managed through rotational grazing and cover cropping to support soil health and improve forage quality. On the family farm established decades ago, close attention to temperament and breeding goals helps maintain a calm, robust herd ideal for both grass-fed and conventional operations. They participate in regional livestock events and receive regular feedback from neighboring producers on herd consistency and adaptability under varying pasture conditions. Their focus on transparent practices provides buyers with confidence in herd health and documented pedigrees.
