Robert & Beverly Alden

Robert & Beverly Alden raise Shorthorn cattle in Hamilton, MO, Caldwell County and the Kansas City area. They maintain regular veterinary care, including routine vaccinations and genetic screening aligned with American Shorthorn Association guidelines. They follow health testing recommendations for calving ease and disposition, aiming to maintain herd integrity. The cattle graze on managed pastureland and have access to spacious shelters, allowing them to develop strong immune systems through natural foraging.

Calves are socialized from birth, accustomed to gentle handling to ensure a calm temperament when integrated into new herds. Their focus on maternal traits and consistent frame size supports producers seeking versatile cattle adaptable to both small family farms and larger operations. The farm comprises multiple grazing paddocks designed for rotational grazing, preserving pasture health and providing consistent nutrition. Record-keeping includes growth tracking and individual performance data, and local farmers have visited to learn about responsible cattle management.
