Steve Alfers

Steve Alfers raises Hereford cattle in Hamilton, OH, Butler County near Cincinnati. Drawing on multi-generational farm roots, he follows standards of the national Hereford association and conducts regular genetic and health screenings.

The cattle graze on rotationally managed pastures and have constant access to clean water and sturdy panel fencing for safe movement. Daily handling and early lead training help create calm, adaptable animals well suited to show rings or pasture-based systems. Each year’s calves benefit from balanced growth traits selected for maternal ability and robust muscling.

The family-run operation maintains open-sided shelters and well-drained loafing areas, supporting comfort through winter storms and summer heat. Buyers value the herd’s consistent temperament and adaptability, making these cattle a dependable choice for small farms or youth livestock projects. Steve also attends local livestock expos and shares breeding insights with area 4-H educators.
