Travis & Danielle Wright

Travis & Danielle Wright, Hereford cattle, Beecher City, IL, are based in Effingham County and central Illinois near Springfield. They have been members of the American Hereford Association and follow recommended health testing protocols, including annual herd screens and vaccination schedules.

Their cattle graze on rotational grass pastures year-round and calf in climate-controlled shelters during the coldest months to balance nutrition with protection from harsh weather. Calves receive daily handling and early socialization, fostering a calm temperament that suits both family farms and larger commercial operations. They maintain detailed records of pedigrees and performance metrics, supporting informed breeding decisions aimed at improving feed efficiency and maternal traits. Family run for generations, the farm focuses on balanced genetics and practical selection rather than show ribbons alone. Several calves placed at local fairs have earned recognition for their solid bone structure and hardy health, reflecting years of consistent breeding goals.
