K4 Cattle Co

K4 Cattle Co raises Hereford cattle in Shelbyville, Missouri, Shelby County and northeast Missouri near St. Louis. Its founder has over 15 years of experience in breeding bloodlines traced through the American Hereford Association and follows routine health screening protocols for herd wellness. Nutrition plans are tailored by season, with mineral supplements and forage analysis guiding feed decisions.

Animals live on gently rolling pastureland with seasonal shelter, and calves are introduced to handling early for calm temperaments and smooth transitions. The farm follows rotational grazing and emphasizes gentle handling to support steady growth and efficient forage use. Records include calving intervals and performance data measured against breed standards. A recent buyer appreciated consistent weight gains and noted the cattle’s friendly disposition on arrival. Family-owned for two decades, K4 Cattle Co maintains ties to local agricultural shows and shares feeding records for transparency.
