Rick & Laurie Steinbeck

Rick & Laurie Steinbeck, Hereford cattle breeders in Hermann, MO, raise healthy calves in Missouri River Valley near Jefferson City. They have bred Hereford cattle for more than a decade and maintain a herd registered with the American Hereford Association. Each animal receives regular veterinary health checks, vaccinations, and early socialization in their spacious pastures.

Their cattle graze on native warm-season grasses with access to sturdy shelter and clean fresh water year-round. They practice rotational grazing to preserve pasture quality and support natural forage cycles. Calves spend time alongside their mothers to encourage natural behavior, and the Steinbecks use low-stress handling to promote calm temperaments. A number of their heifers have placed in local shows for conformational qualities, reflecting the farm’s careful breeding focus. Visitors often comment on the open paddocks and well-maintained barns that support the herd’s overall wellness.
