Ron Dixon

Ron Dixon raises Hereford cattle in Watseka, IL, northeastern Illinois near Chicago. He has more than a decade of experience working with gentle Hereford lines and follows recommended health screening protocols and breed registry standards. His herd grazes on rotational pastures and calves are handled daily to support early socialization and ease of management.

All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary checks and strict biosecurity measures to maintain herd health. Calves move to sheltered paddocks with access to fresh water and forage, ensuring steady growth through each stage. Through careful selection and gentle handling, his cattle exhibit calm temperaments suited to both small family farms and larger operations.

The farm has been family-owned for two generations, with a focus on sustainable land stewardship and community engagement. Pastures are enriched with native grasses and legumes to support nutritional diversity and soil health.
