Larry & Judith Maxwell

Larry & Judith Maxwell, Hereford cattle breeders in Rayville, MO, Ray County and the Kansas City area. They have more than a decade of dedicated breeding experience, are members of the American Hereford Association, and their herd undergoes routine health screenings for common cattle concerns. Their pasture-based grazing system ensures cattle move across rotational paddocks, and calves receive gentle early handling alongside family dogs to support socialization and ease of transition. Calving seasons are carefully monitored, and calves are registered with performance tracking to support informed breeding decisions.

The farm’s heritage spans three generations of producers, combining time-honored practices with a focus on balanced temperament and efficient beef production. They emphasize sustainable grazing and soil stewardship to maintain pasture health and biodiversity. Visitors often remark on the herd’s calm demeanor and adaptability to various environments. Their nutritional program includes locally sourced hay, mineral supplements and the occasional pasture legumes to promote steady growth and overall health.
