Mead Farms

Mead Farms raises Hereford cattle in Barnett, MO, in Morgan County and the Lake of the Ozarks near Osage Beach.

Each breeding cycle is guided by recommended health screenings, including disease panels and parasite control, and meticulous record-keeping supports robust growth and longevity. Calves are nurtured on open pastures with regular handling to foster steady temperaments and introduced early to hay-based diets for smooth weaning transitions. Mature cattle rotate through well-managed fields with access to shade and fresh water. The team at Mead Farms believes in sustainable pasture rotation, which helps maintain soil health and offers grazing diversity for their herds.

With a focus on balanced structure and gentle disposition, their cattle are well-suited for both family operations and commercial feeders. Feedback from local ranchers highlights consistent temperament and performance from birth through maturity. They welcome farm visits by appointment, offering farm tours and educational talks on cattle management.
