Hancock Farms

Hancock Farms, Hereford cattle, Bolivar, MO, in southwest Missouri near Springfield. The farm has been raising Hereford cattle for years, maintaining herd health through routine veterinary evaluations, vaccination protocols, and genetic screening for calving ease. The operation follows the American Hereford Association’s recommended practices for balanced nutrition, rotational grazing, and careful selection of bloodlines to support structural soundness.

Calves are raised on open pasture with round-the-clock access to shade, fresh water, and a protected calving barn, fostering sturdy growth and a calm demeanor. Socialization begins early, with cattle handled gently and introduced to farm activities in small groups to build trust. Offspring have shown consistent performance in county fairs and farm demonstrations, underlining the care given to each animal. The farm is family-run, combining traditional stewardship with modern animal care practices. A recent review noted the consistency of temperament and strong frame of the stock, reflecting Hancock Farms’ steady approach to responsible breeding.
