Marty D Or Vicki Lueck, Hereford cattle, Mountain Grove, MO, draw on family farming roots to raise quality herd genetics in the Ozarks near Springfield. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for more than fifteen years and are members of the American Hereford Association, conducting regular genetic and health testing to support herd well-being. Calves grow up on rotationally grazed pastures with daily handling for socialization and robust development. The farm’s focus on docile temperament and maternal traits reflects a commitment to increasingly adaptable livestock suited to regional conditions.

Visitors and buyers often note the friendly nature of the cattle and the transparent care practices observed during farm visits. Family-based stewardship and a straightforward approach link heritage farming values with current standards of animal welfare. Sustainable grazing and minimal-use protocols support pasture regeneration and align with long-standing conservation efforts in the region.
