Scott D Riemer

Scott D Riemer raises Hereford cattle in Butler, PA, serving Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience on his family’s small-scale farm, he adheres to American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts comprehensive health screening for bovine respiratory disease and Johne’s disease. Each animal receives individually tailored nutrition and annual fertility and parasite checks to ensure herd well-being. The cattle are managed on open pastures with access to sheltered loafing areas, allowing natural grazing patterns while offering protection from harsh weather.

Calves are introduced to gentle handling and seasonal pasture rotations from their first weeks, fostering strong temperaments and ease of movement. His farm stewardship emphasizes soil health, water conservation and rotational grazing to maintain vibrant pastures and reduce environmental impact. As a member of the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association, he connects with regional farmers to exchange best practices and support community resilience. Several young Herefords have earned ribbons at regional livestock shows, reflecting patient selection and attentive care throughout their development.
