Plainview Stock Farm

Plainview Stock Farm raises Hereford cattle in Tuscola, IL, serving Douglas County and east-central Illinois near Champaign. The operation has been breeding Hereford cattle for more than two decades, focusing on maternal instincts and sound feet and legs, with routine health testing to support calving ease and genetic integrity.

Animals are raised on open pastures with access to shade and shelter, and daily interaction helps form calm temperaments. Calves are weaned in stages to reduce stress and receive regular handling to adapt them to various environments. The farm’s rolling fields of cool-season grasses and legumes provide balanced nutrition throughout the year. During winter months, hay from the farm’s own harvest supplements grazing to maintain steady growth. They participate in local livestock events to gather feedback and refine breeding selections.
