Stephen Garrett Lorenzen

Stephen Garrett Lorenzen breeds Hereford cattle in Georgetown, IL, serving west central Illinois near Peoria. He has been raising Hereford cattle for over a decade, is a member of national breed associations, and all adult cattle undergo routine veterinary health screenings. His operation emphasizes pasture-based grazing with balanced rations, and calves are handled daily to foster calm temperaments.

Breeding decisions focus on longevity, maternal qualities and adaptability to local climates. The herd includes multiple county fair champions and benefits from a multi-generation farmstead rooted in traditional livestock care.

Animals graze on 200 acres of rotational pastures with hardwood timbers and have access to shelter and clean water year-round. Each calf receives early handling to encourage a confident, easygoing temperament and supplemental hay in winter is sourced from on-farm production. Many buyers have remarked on the cattle’s steady dispositions and robust structure.
