Jaye E & Sue Decker

Jaye E & Sue Decker raise Hereford cattle in Centralia, Missouri, in the Mid-Missouri region near Columbia. They have been dedicated to selective breeding for over a decade and hold membership in national livestock associations, ensuring calves come from herds screened for common health conditions.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to foster calm, adaptable temperaments from an early age. Careful lineage tracking over multiple generations has produced a bloodline prized for sturdy conformation and gentle dispositions suited to both ranch work and family farms. All animals live under open-shelter barns that offer shade and protection, and routine veterinary visits uphold herd well-being.

Their farmstead includes secure calving areas where newborns are monitored around the clock, and each calf receives early low-stress socialization. Local ranchers often note consistent growth rates and sound feet structure in the calves, testimony to the herd’s robust genetics. Pasture rotation practices also contribute to soil health and nutrient diversity, supporting a balanced diet without reliance on intensive feedlots.
