Thompson Herefords

Thompson Herefords, a Hereford cattle breeder in Amity, MO, serves northwest Missouri near Kansas City. With more than thirty years of experience and active membership in the American Hereford Association and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, it follows thorough health testing protocols, including regular genetic screening and soundness evaluations. Every calf is raised on open pasture, receiving mineral supplementation and daily handling to support balanced temperaments, solid muscling, and robust growth.

The family-run operation traces its roots to three generations of producers working on gently rolling pastures and values hands-on care and rotational grazing systems to foster soil health. Breeding decisions emphasize maternal strength, feed efficiency, and longevity, and detailed performance records guide future pairings for improved herd resilience. Partnerships with local veterinarians and nutritionists ensure customized herd health plans and timely vaccinations. Local farmers and ranchers commend the consistent quality and docile nature of the cattle, noting reliable fertility, strong structural traits, and adaptability across the region.
