Lorenzen Farms Partnership

Lorenzen Farms Partnership has raised registered polled Hereford cattle in Chrisman, Illinois, in Edgar County since the farm's roots stretch back to 1930, when the Lorenzen family first settled the original 105-acre property. The operation grew into a multi-generation family partnership, and its Hereford program formally took shape in the late 1940s. Chrisman sits in east-central Illinois, roughly 25 miles south of Danville.

The farm operates as a diversified grain and livestock enterprise, running a herd of around 200 mother cows split between polled Hereford and Angus cattle. For those looking for polled Hereford cattle for sale in Illinois, Lorenzen Farms carries a long record of breeding animals that perform equally in the show ring and across commercial pastures. The partnership is a member of the Heart of America Hereford Association, and the farm has been recognized by the Illinois Beef Association as Seedstock Breeder of the Year.

The show record behind the herd is substantial. A 1976 State Sale Champion bull is credited with launching the farm's modern success, producing offspring that accumulated Junior National division titles and State Fair grand championships across multiple generations. From 1985 through 2020, the farm recorded over 600 leads at state and national shows, with cattle placing in hundreds of classes. The partnership has also supported the broader industry through decades of 4-H volunteerism and farm internships.
