Prairie Rose Cattle Co.

Prairie Rose Cattle Co. raises Hereford cattle in Sherman, IL, Sangamon County near Springfield. Rob Pruitt has spent over a decade refining bloodlines through American Hereford Association registration, routine genetic health screening and performance testing. All adults undergo annual veterinary inspections, receive trace-mineral balanced supplements to support fertility and coat condition, and graze on fields managed without chemical pesticides.

Herds graze on rotational pastures to promote sturdy growth and resilience from birth through weaning. Calves are handled daily and introduced to family life early, building calm temperaments suited for diverse farm settings. Each year’s calf crop is raised entirely outdoors with free access to shade, fresh water and secure windbreaks. Pasture management follows a four-field rotation with native grasses and legumes to preserve soil health and forage quality. Customers note the even-handed approach and thorough documentation that reflect the operation’s quiet dedication to Hereford cattle.
