Keithley Hereford Farms

Keithley Hereford Farms specializes in Hereford cattle in Frankford, MO, serving Pike County and northeast Missouri near St. Louis. The farm is registered with the American Hereford Association and follows industry guidelines, including comprehensive health testing of every breeding animal. With decades of experience in cattle ranching, it emphasizes pasture-based breeding practices and focuses on genetic diversity within the herd.

Cattle graze on open pastures and receive daily handling from birth to encourage gentle dispositions and structural soundness. A focus on rotational grazing and balanced nutrition supports steady growth, muscle development and reproductive health. Each spring a well-ventilated barn with monitored stalls and fresh bedding ensures calves start life under careful supervision.

Winter feeding includes hay harvested on-site supplemented with a mineral program designed to support fertility and growth through colder months. Its on-site production records track pedigree and performance data, and local breeders often note consistency in the herd’s traits from one generation to the next.
