Harding Bros Herefords

Harding Bros Herefords, Hereford cattle, Ridgeway, MO, are located in north Missouri near Kansas City. They manage a multigenerational ranch that balances conformation, maternal traits, and a nurturing approach to animal care. As members of the American Hereford Association, they maintain regular health testing that covers fertility, growth efficiency, and calving ease.

The herd grazes on diverse pastures managed through rotational grazing to promote soil health and even weight gain. Calves receive daily handling from birth and are introduced to pasture by month two, encouraging a calm temperament and safe farm visits.

The farm regularly shows cattle at county fairs and regional livestock exhibitions where animals have earned recognition for weaning weights and structural soundness. This careful balance of genetic selection and land stewardship supports consistent herd improvement and reflects a long-term commitment to animal well-being. Facilities include calving pens and on-site feed systems designed for comfort and hygiene.
