Rising Creek Herefords

Rising Creek Herefords raises Hereford cattle in Licking, MO, Texas County and the Ozarks near Springfield. With deep ties to the local ranching community, the ranch follows American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts routine health screenings on every animal. Calves receive daily handling on rolling pasture from birth to develop calm, cooperative temperaments and resilience to seasonal weather. Year-round turnout lets herd members adapt to seasonal shifts while access to supplemental feed and shelter ensures steady growth during winter. Barns and shelters are cleaned daily and cattle have constant access to mineral-rich water sources and trace minerals.

Multi-generational stewardship of the land informs their emphasis on structural soundness, udder quality and maternal traits suited to both commercial and small-scale operations. Buyers note consistent birth weights, docile temperaments and strong weaning gains that support efficient herd development. Herds from Rising Creek Herefords have supplied breeding stock to regional fairs, neighboring farms and conservation grazing programs.
