Simon Shepard
Simon Shepard, Hereford cattle, Altamont, IL, operates a family farm in Effingham County and the Corn Belt near St. Louis. His experience spans more than a decade of registered breeding, with every animal screened for genetic soundness and temperament through state association protocols.
Calves are raised on pasture rotations that aim to mimic natural grazing patterns while building sturdy frames. Young stock spend time in small herds for socialization before moving into open-range paddocks. Attention to balanced nutrition, routine hoof care and simple enrichment helps each animal thrive at pasture and in exhibition rings.
He maintains membership in the American Hereford Association and contributes to youth mentoring programs at local fairs. Several calves have placed in state livestock shows, reflecting consistent herd selection goals. Natural fertilization and water conservation practices support soil health across rotating pasture sections, and daily checks help build bonds with each animal.
