Mr & Mrs T Ostermeier

Mr & Mrs T Ostermeier raise Hereford cattle in Athens, IL, in central Illinois near Springfield. They have been raising Herefords for more than ten years and maintain health-tested breeding stock with documented pedigrees. As members of the American Hereford Association, they follow breed standards and ensure every calf is registered before leaving the farm. All cattle graze on open pasture with access to fresh shade and mineral feeders, receive regular veterinary care and vaccinations, and are handled daily to encourage calm behavior around people.

Their farm practices rotational grazing and sustainable land management, which supports animal health and environmental stewardship. Calves grow on natural forage and receive supplemental minerals to promote balanced development. Prospective buyers often remark on the consistent size and gentle temperaments throughout their herds. Visitors have noted the well-maintained pastures and the herd’s approachable nature during farm tours.
