R&S Livestock

R&S Livestock, Hereford cattle breeders in Odin, IL, serves southern Illinois and the St. Louis area. The family operation spans multiple generations of farming expertise and maintains registrations with the American Hereford Association. They implement a comprehensive health program including vaccination schedules, routine veterinary assessments, nutritional consultations and parasite screenings year-round to ensure herd well-being.

Their focus on pasture-based sustainable grazing aligns with soil health practices and local environmental considerations. One local rancher praised the even weight gains and calm disposition of the animals, noting reliable genetics in their herd. Prospective buyers appreciate the transparent year-round record-keeping of pedigrees, health insights and performance data that accompanies each animal.
