Gregory D George

Gregory D George is a Hereford cattle breeder in Cobden, Illinois, located in Jackson County and the Shawnee National Forest near Carbondale. With over a decade of selective breeding experience and membership in the American Hereford Association, he maintains cattle registered with the AHA and follows rigorous health-testing protocols for calving ease, maternal traits, and genetic soundness.

On his 60-acre pasture, calves are raised outdoors and receive daily handling from birth, fostering a calm temperament that suits both small-scale farms and grassroots agriculture events. Barns are cleaned regularly, feed sources are locally sourced, and he integrates rotational grazing to support herd health, soil preservation, and grassland sustainability.

His farm participates in local agricultural fairs and has earned recognition for structural correctness, gentle disposition, and consistent weight gain. A longstanding review highlights the welcoming atmosphere at his homestead, the transparency in breeding practices, and his commitment to each animal’s well-being.
