Hilltop Farms

Hilltop Farms raises Limousin cattle in Centertown, MO, in Moniteau County and the Jefferson City area. Douglas Ash and Rita Ash have been raising Limousin cattle for nearly a decade, participate in regional livestock shows and maintain registrations with national breed associations and follow recommended health testing protocols.

Calves are born in open pastures and receive early socialization by spending time alongside the family. The barn provides sheltered bedding areas cleaned daily for comfort through all seasons. The farm uses rotational grazing, natural forage and cover crops to support steady weight gain and soil health. Animals are handled gently to build trust before transport, and medical care follows standard protocols along with routine genetic screening. A small herd size lets the owners focus on individual animal needs, temperament, and overall herd harmony. Their approach emphasizes transparency and sharing sustainable best practices with fellow local producers.
