Lorenzen Farms

Lorenzen Farms raises Hereford cattle in Chrisman, IL, serving Edgar County and East Central Illinois near Champaign. With more than fifteen years of experience, the farm holds membership in the American Hereford Association and adheres to comprehensive health testing for breeding stock.

Animals graze on rotational pastures bordered by native fescue, and calving takes place in a sheltered barn to ensure early care and monitoring. The family-run farm maintains detailed records of lineage, imparting thoughtful selection for maternal traits and feed efficiency. Socialization begins in group pens that encourage calm interactions and resilience.

Calves are introduced to rotating pastures within weeks of birth, supporting natural grazing instincts. The operation emphasizes sustainable grazing practices, focusing on animal well-being, and offers cattle meeting performance certification standards for growth and carcass quality. Neighboring farmers often note the herd’s consistent temperament and steady weight gains during grazing season.
