Kempker Livestock

Kempker Livestock, Chianina cattle, Eugene, MO, in central Missouri near Jefferson City. They have been raising Chianina cattle for over a decade under national breed association guidelines and conduct regular testing for brucellosis, bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease. Cows calve naturally and calves receive attentive care at birth, with early handling to foster calm dispositions.

They select sires for structural soundness and adaptability, producing offspring suited to varied climates. Their herd grazes on open pastures shaded by mature oaks, rotating daily to support soil health and consistent forage quality. Trent and Evan Kempker operate this family farm with roots in sustainable livestock management and value each animal’s well-being. Their cattle are noted by local producers for balanced conformation and gentle temperaments, traits that suit both show and ranch work. Routine hoof trimming, mineral supplementation and individualized feeding plans support resilient growth and long-term soundness.
