Justin & Kimber Stithem

Justin & Kimber Stithem are Hereford cattle breeders in Fredonia, Kansas, Wilson County and southeastern Kansas near Wichita. They have raised registered Herefords for over a decade under guidelines from the American Hereford Association and perform annual scrotal and genetic testing to support herd health. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures surrounded by native grass and have regular access to calving barns, allowing for close monitoring and gentle handling during the birthing season.

They follow a low-stress handling philosophy, ensuring calves are socialized from birth and receive individualized care. Their family-run operation blends traditional farmstead values with a focus on sustainable land stewardship, preserving local ecology while maintaining soil health. This approach has produced cattle known for balanced conformation and steady growth rates, leading many purchasers to return when they expand their herds. Prospective buyers can discuss bloodline histories, performance records and on-farm visits to observe cattle in their natural setting.
