Samuel Riemer

Samuel Riemer raises small, family-run Hereford cattle in Butler, PA, part of Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. Drawing on more than two decades of hands-on experience and membership in national breed associations, he follows comprehensive health-testing protocols and careful pairing to support strong bloodlines. Calves spend their first months on rotational pasture, with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization.

The family farm blends three generations of livestock knowledge with modern veterinary care. A recent customer noted the herd’s even temperament and clear communication about breeding goals. Animals are offered space to roam in open fields and shelter in a well-ventilated barn, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and sustainable pasture management. Pedigree records are maintained through the American Hereford Association, ensuring traceable lineage for breeding programs. Routine veterinary exams and pasture rotation aim to reduce dependency on antibiotics.
