Miller Cattle Company

Miller Cattle Company, Hereford cattle, Oblong, IL, in southern Illinois near Effingham, operates a third-generation family farm.

They follow industry-standard health protocols, maintaining regular veterinary checks, monthly calf health assessments and genetic screening for common Hereford concerns. Calving takes place in spacious pastures under attentive care, and calves are socialized alongside adult cattle for a calm temperament. Grass supplements are inspected regularly to ensure nutritional balance for growth and lactation.

Their farm history includes local agricultural showcases where the herd has been noted for consistent structure and gentle disposition. Seasonal rotation across mixed grass pastures also supports natural grazing behaviors and muscle development, and helps control parasites naturally. Local veterinarians work closely with the team to tailor herd health plans throughout the year. Straw-bedded barns offer shelter in colder months, and calves remain with their dams for natural feeding behavior.
