Mary Margaret Kline

Mary Margaret Kline, Herefords, Le Roy, IL, raises cattle in Central Illinois near Peoria. With several years of breeding experience, she works alongside the American Hereford Association and follows routine veterinary care and health screenings. Her breeding program emphasizes maternal strength and adaptability in local climates, and her cattle graze on rotational pastures to foster natural behaviors and sturdy frames.

Calves are born under open-roof shelters and introduced to pasture settings early, following a stepwise weaning process that minimizes stress and supports steady growth. She works with a local veterinarian to schedule vaccinations, nutrition assessments, and herd health evaluations. Detailed records and clear breeding plans guide selections for temperament, weight gain, and resilience to seasonal changes.

The farmstead blends family tradition with modern welfare standards, from bedding routines to forage diversity. Visitors often remark on the herd’s robust condition and Mary Margaret’s sincere commitment to each animal’s well-being.
