The farm

Clint and Ashley Hornberger run the farm southwest of Baldwin City, in Douglas County. Clint is the fifth generation of his family to work this ground, and their three sons are the sixth.

They keep the herd closed, which means every animal sold was born on the farm. The cattle are moved through the pastures on a rotation, and the crop ground is worked with cover crops and no-till. Kansas Farm Bureau named them a Farm Family of the Year in 2023.

Both work off the farm as well. Ashley is a crop insurance underwriter. Clint trains firefighters for the Kansas Fire Rescue Training Institute and serves as assistant chief of Willow Springs Fire District 3.

A new milking parlor goes up. The farm runs as a dairy for roughly fifty-five years, milking around 140 head a day.

2007

Clint moves the operation out of dairy and into beef cattle.

2020

A Kansas retail meat license lets the farm sell beef by the pound direct to customers.
