Justin Hurst

Justin Hurst is a Hereford cattle breeder in Nevada, MO, working in Vernon County and the Ozarks near Springfield. With more than a decade of experience, he follows the guidelines of the American Hereford Association and conducts regular genetic and health screenings. His cattle are raised on pasture rotation systems and receive daily hands-on care to support natural behavior and social bonds.

He maintains deep respect for sustainable practices, integrating forage-based feeding, low-stress handling, and a balanced mix of pasture and row-crop land to optimize forage quality. A former FFA advisor, he focuses on reliable temperaments and structural soundness that suit family farms and small-scale operations. Calves are weaned through step-down protocols and receive personalized attention during transitional periods.

His stock has been praised for consistent growth rates and calm dispositions in customer feedback. Veterinary protocols include timely vaccinations and parasite control to maintain herd health.
