Easter Farms

Easter Farms is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Salem, MO, in Dent County and the Ozarks near St. Louis. Jessica Easter has been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years, following standards set by recognized breed associations and carrying out health testing protocols to maintain herd vitality. Calves are born and nurtured on lush pasture under rotational grazing, with daily handling that encourages a calm temperament and strong maternal instincts. Each winter the cattle have access to a sheltered barn and free-choice hay to ensure consistent growth through colder months.

The farm’s husbandry approach emphasizes sustainable land management, providing balanced nutrition and space for natural behaviors. Jessica draws on her experience in livestock care to develop well-conditioned Shorthorn lines known for ease of calving and sturdy frame. Local fair judges and past buyers often note the herd’s uniform conformation and docile behavior as signs of careful selection. Many neighbors appreciate the farm’s thoughtful introduction of young cattle to everyday farm life and the steady attention each animal receives.
