Windy Hill Farm

Windy Hill Farm raises Hereford cattle in Holden, Missouri, Johnson County and the rolling prairie near Kansas City. The farm has maintained a small herd for over a decade, following association guidelines, conducting annual health evaluations and genetic testing to promote robust cattle.

Animals graze on open fescue and clover pastures, rotating through sections to encourage muscle development while daily handling builds trust. A low-stress approach to weaning and regular herd evaluations support steady weight gains and calm temperaments. Special attention to shelter design, including well-ventilated barns and insulated corrals, along with consistent water access, keeps cattle comfortable through Missouri’s range of seasons.

Breeding priorities include maternal strength and longevity to promote sustainable herd growth. Visitors often note the farm’s tranquil atmosphere and the evident bond between animals and caretakers. The farm partners with local hay producers to offer a balanced diet that reflects seasonal availability.
