Lucinda Brown

Lucinda Brown, Hereford cattle, Burlington Junction, MO, in the Missouri River Valley near St. Joseph. She participates in the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health-testing protocols for breeding.

Her Hereford cattle graze on rotational pastures and are accustomed to seasonal weather variations, receiving regular health checks and gentle handling. The farm has been family-run for generations, maintaining focus on structural soundness and maternal traits. Visitors appreciate the calm temperament of the herd during informal farm visits.

Calves are raised alongside their mothers until weaning age and receive supplemental hay and local feed mixes tailored for steady growth. Manure is composted and returned to the pastures to enrich soil and promote healthy forage, while the rolling fields along the Missouri River shelter the herd and offer natural shade with water access year round. A small team provides daily observation and minimal-stress handling sessions to support socialization and animal well-being.
