Riley Bradshaw

Riley Bradshaw is a breeder of Hereford cattle in New Salem, Illinois, in Menard County and central Illinois near Springfield. They have worked with Hereford cattle for over a decade, holding membership in the American Hereford Association and participating in national registries that emphasize genetic soundness and maternal traits. Their herd grazes on rotational pasture and follows balanced nutritional plans, with calves raised in a low-stress environment and socialized to gentle handling from an early age.

The farm blends traditional grazing methods with modern herd health protocols, including routine veterinary evaluations and genetic screening for common bovine conditions. Riley Bradshaw often shares insights on animal husbandry at local agricultural events and supports community education through guided farm tours. Each breeding pair undergoes biosecurity checks and the herd operates as a closed system to protect animal health and genetic integrity. Calves are selected for balanced genetics and calving ease to ensure strong maternal traits and consistent herd health.
