Jim D &/Or Carla Bellis

Jim D &/Or Carla Bellis are Hereford cattle breeders in Aurora, MO, serving Lawrence County near Springfield. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for more than a decade and maintain membership in the American Hereford Association. Their herd follows a pasture-based grazing program with regular health screenings, genetic health testing, and a focus on balanced nutrition.

Calves are socialized from birth with daily handling to support calm temperaments and easy transitions to new environments. Sires and dams undergo genetic evaluations and regular veterinary oversight for traits like growth rate, maternal ability and temperament to ensure reliable herd performance. Seasonal rotation across three separate paddocks promotes forage diversity and helps maintain healthy soil and plants.

One long-time customer notes the consistent quality and gentle disposition of their cattle. Their property includes a small pond and sheltered barns, offering protection from severe weather and year-round access to clean water.
