Mary Beeson

Mary Beeson raises Hereford cattle in Ozark, MO, in Southwest Missouri near Springfield. She has more than a decade of experience with registered Hereford programs and holds membership in the American Hereford Association and the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association. Herd animals undergo routine vet checks and genetic screening, while rotational grazing and locally sourced feed support natural growth and herd health.

Calves are born in spacious paddocks and receive gentle daily handling to promote calm temperaments and smooth transitions for new owners. The operation blends mid-century farm traditions with modern record keeping, tracing pedigrees through detailed logs to preserve strong foot structure and maternal traits. A veterinary partnership ensures early disease prevention and swift care when needed, reflecting a priority on animal welfare over rapid turnover. Visitors often comment on the cattle’s steady disposition and sound conformation, hallmarks of Beeson’s steady approach to sustainable ranching.
