Lisa Harp

Lisa Harp breeds Hereford cattle in Richmond, MO, East Central Missouri near Kansas City. She has been raising cattle on a small-scale operation for several years and maintains registration with the American Hereford Association. Routine health screenings, herd fertility assessments and genetic testing help ensure the herd’s well-being. Animals graze on natural pastureland bordered by shelter belts, and calves are socialized from a young age to develop calm temperaments.

The farm traces its roots to a family tradition of sustainable ranching, focusing on balanced nutrition, rotational pastures and low-stress handling. Spring calving takes place in protected barns with heated stalls, and round-the-clock care is provided during the newborn stages. Local beef enthusiasts and chefs appreciate the consistent quality, grass-fed flavor and gentle nature of her cattle. Rotational grazing practices help maintain soil health and support resilient pastures, which visitors often remark enhance the farm’s serene atmosphere.
