Wilde & Schanzmeyer

Wilde & Schanzmeyer is a Hereford cattle breeder in Saint Elizabeth, MO, in the Missouri Ozarks near Jefferson City. With over a decade of experience, it participates in the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health testing for calving ease and genetic soundness.

Calves are raised on open pasture and spend time with handlers from their first weeks, developing a calm temperament and a strong foundation. The farm has produced multiple regional show winners and focuses on traits like structural balance and efficient weight gain.

Animals live in clean barns with access to fresh water year-round, and breeding decisions prioritize longevity in pasture settings. Owners appreciate the clear health records and consistent growth rates that make these cattle well suited for both heritage operations and modern farms. A family-run operation since the early 2000s, the farm values thoughtful stewardship and fosters connections between cattle and caretakers.
