Lmr Farms

Lmr Farms raises Scottish highland cattle in Dow, IL, serving Bond County and the St. Louis area. Rodney Roentz and Leola Roentz are committed to breed preservation with over fifteen years of experience and memberships in local livestock associations. They participate in annual meetings of the American Highland Cattle Association and adhere to its guidelines for responsible breeding.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and rest in spacious barns that shield them from extreme weather. Health testing for common bovine conditions is performed annually and any newborn receives hands-on care from the family team. Socialization begins soon after birth, helping calves adapt to farm life and visitors.

This small farm upbringing ensures steady growth and a calm temperament in breeding stock. Lmr Farms operates on a third-generation homestead and shares insights on sustainable grazing and pasture management at community events.
