After growing up in a small town together and knowing each other since 5th grade, we got married in 2012 and bought a place in the country on 2 acres. While growing up with livestock, and sharing that passion for the country lifestyle, we knew we had to have something on those 2 acres. After much time researching and talking to many Miniature Hereford Breeders from all over, we were confident and reassured that this was the direction we wanted to go.
In 2014, with a newborn baby in the back seat, we headed out to purchase our first three bred and registered Miniature Hereford Cows. We fell in love with this breed! Quickly things changed and within 3 years we had two young boys and five cows. It was time to move into a bigger house with a bigger pasture.
Now in a bigger house sitting on 26 acres with 8 registered cows, we have established where we want to be. The Miniature Hereford market here in Illinois is trailing some neighboring states, however we believe it is going to develop suddenly and are excited for it! We love meeting new people from all around the country and can’t wait to help you start or continue your journey in the Miniature Hereford Industry!
