Larry L Snavely

Larry L Snavely raises Hereford cattle in Minneapolis, KS, in the Great Plains region near Kansas City. With over two decades of experience, he is a member of the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health screening protocols to ensure sound breeding stock.

Calves are born in open pastures with shelter access, receiving daily socialization and a forage-based diet supplemented for balanced growth. The farm’s hands-on approach emphasizes gentle handling and early exposure to farm routines, building calm temperaments suited for both small-scale herds and educational settings. Several animals from recent litters have earned recognition at state fairs, a reflection of consistent structure and careful lineage selection.

Facility tours and open access to health records demonstrate a commitment to transparency and build trust. Regular soil tests and rotational grazing cycles support pasture health, contributing to robust animal welfare. Many clients note a transparent breeding process and a calm farm atmosphere that simplifies herd integration.
