Rob Wyant

Rob Wyant raises Hereford cattle in Sherrard, Illinois, in northwestern Illinois and the Quad Cities near Moline. Wyant follows recommended health screening and genetics tracking for Hereford cattle to support herd vitality.

The herd is managed on rotational grazing pastures for improved soil health, allowing cattle to access fresh forage and shelter throughout the seasons. All calves are handled from birth with consistent, low-stress interaction to build trust and ensure calm temperaments. Daily veterinary checks and detailed record-keeping ensure prompt attention to wellness and compliance with breed guidelines.

A farm tradition spanning generations guides the breeding program, with occasional participation in regional livestock shows helping refine each new calf’s development. Wyant also collaborates with local extension agents to stay current on best practices and community standards. Built shelters and reliable year-round watering systems provide protection and hydration during extreme weather.
