Underwood Spring Farms

Underwood Spring Farms is a family-owned Hereford cattle breeder in Thayer, MO, working within the Ozark Highlands near Springfield. Founded in 2010, it has grown through active memberships in the American Hereford Association and regional livestock exchanges, upholding careful health-testing for genetic soundness, calving ease and disease resistance. Animals graze on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses, and each calf enjoys daily handling to promote calmness and early socialization in a low-stress setting.

Pasture management prioritizes soil health and water conservation, reflecting the farm’s belief that sustainable land stewardship supports both cattle welfare and long-term productivity through seasonal shelter and riparian buffers. Long-term herds demonstrate balanced muscling, consistent growth rates and a steady temperament that local and traveling buyers frequently note for uniformity, reliability and adaptability. Underwood Spring Farms also maintains on-site calving barns equipped for individual monitoring, ensuring attentive care through each stage of early development and swift support when needed.
