Robert W Stieglitz

Robert W Stieglitz raises Hereford cattle in Bunker Hill, IL, Macoupin County and the Metro East near St. Louis. He has been breeding livestock for several years and works with the American Hereford Association to ensure registered pedigrees and genetic diversity.

The herd grazes on rotating pastures that support soil health and the cattle spend their early weeks in a shaded barn, where they receive hands-on care and daily socialization. Robert W Stieglitz focuses on the temperament and structural soundness of each animal, reflecting a family farm tradition that dates back generations. Calves are evaluated for growth rates and maternal traits, and routine health screenings are part of their husbandry plan. The operation includes mineral supplementation and vaccination schedules tailored to each life stage. Local 4-H families often request calves for their projects, praising their docile nature and consistent growth.
