Kelly Livestock

Kelly Livestock, breeding Hereford cattle in Cornell, IL, north central Illinois near Peoria, raises sturdy stock for grazing and show. The farm has operated for more than a decade with registration through the American Hereford Association and routine genetic and health testing to ensure sound herds.

Cattle graze rotationally on mixed pastures, with shade structures and fresh water available throughout rotations to allow for natural foraging and pasture recovery. Calves are handled daily from birth to promote calm behavior and social adaptability. They work with local veterinarians to maintain parasite control and vaccination schedules.

Kelly Livestock traces its roots to a family dairy farm established in the 1970s, adapting to meet modern beef demands with careful selection for temperament and growth. Breeding pairs are monitored to ensure birthing takes place in clean, sheltered paddocks. Many buyers appreciate the consistent weight gains and gentle temperaments noted in reviews.
