Harms Brothers

Harms Brothers are Hereford cattle breeders in Chrisman, Illinois, serving East Central Illinois near Champaign. They have been raising Hereford cattle for many years and maintain membership in the American Hereford Association with routine health screenings and genetic testing for key traits. Every animal undergoes vaccination protocols and regular hoof trimming to maintain mobility and welfare. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and benefit from daily hands-on care to support natural behaviors and strong development.

The farm emphasizes low-stress handling and socialization in small groups, allowing calves to form healthy bonds before weaning. Calves remain with their dams for several months to encourage maternal nursing and proper weight gain. Their herd has earned recognition at regional agricultural shows for structural soundness, udder health, and temperament. They prioritize genetic diversity to enhance herd resilience and adaptability across seasons and weather extremes.
