Spencer Ashworth

Spencer Ashworth, Chianina cattle, Urbana, MO, works in Dallas County and the Ozarks near Springfield. He has been raising Chianina cattle for several years with careful attention to comprehensive health testing and registered bloodlines.

His cattle graze on mixed-grass pastures and are acclimated to local weather with round-the-clock shelter and clean water. Hands-on socialization begins early and the herd lives in a barnyard setting that encourages calm interactions with visitors and family members. Calves receive individual attention during the first weeks and follow a weaning schedule designed for balanced growth and welfare.

Spencer’s approach reflects a commitment to steady improvement and a lasting connection to cattle breeding traditions in the Missouri countryside. Rotational grazing methods support pasture regeneration and foster resilient herds well suited to Missouri’s seasonal rhythms. Health testing for common regional diseases is part of regular herd management.
