Robert & Cindy Gerling

Robert & Cindy Gerling are Limousin cattle breeders in New Haven, MO, Franklin County and the St. Louis area. They maintain registration with the American Limousin Association and follow recommended health-screening protocols.

The herd is raised on rotational pasture and receives daily handling to support social calm and adaptability. Their breeding program emphasizes gentle temperament and structural soundness, qualities valued by small-scale growers. Pastures are managed to promote forage diversity, and calves remain with their mothers until weaning to ensure strong early development. Feedback from local farmers highlights the Gerlings’ consistency in producing well-structured cattle suited to pasture-based operations. They regularly participate in county fairs and regional livestock shows, where their cattle have received recognition for uniformity of muscling and docility. The Gerlings combine a practical agricultural approach with attention to genetic records, striving to maintain clear pedigrees and improve cattle longevity over successive generations.
