Jacob Chalfant

Jacob Chalfant raises Hereford cattle in Muscotah, KS, in northeast Kansas near Topeka. He has been working with cattle for over a decade and keeps detailed records on lineage, weight gains, and health screenings through the American Hereford Association. His approach combines gentle handling, rotational grazing on tiered pastures, and routine veterinary care to maintain herd health and a balanced diet.

Calves spend their early weeks close to family life and structured socialization routines that promote calm temperaments and adaptability. Rolling fields are divided with sturdy perimeter fencing, and natural springs and water troughs are placed for easy access throughout the seasons. As a family-run operation, the farm values transparency and sound animal welfare standards in every aspect of breeding and rearing.

Feedback from neighboring producers highlights Jacob’s consistency, attention to detail, and commitment to the well-being of his Hereford herd.
