To gain a better understanding of why we do what we do, take a moment to read a little bit about our family's history and how AbraKadabra Cattle Company emerged. She grew up with Herefords as her family raised performance tested bulls and production females, with much success also in the show ring. Terry met Mark, a Southwest Missouri native, soon after her move. Mark comes from a farming background also, but consisting of dairy cattle and row crops. Both Terry and Mark worked on their education and married in 1986, settling in Columbia, Missouri while Terry completed her medical education. Today, Terry practices as a Diagnostic Radiologist at Boone Hospital. As years have gone by, the family has never lost their desire for a country farm life. In 1993, the family purchased their first farm and began raising show steers in 2000 for their two daughters to show as 4-H projects. Over the next 10 years, AbraKadabra purchased 3 additional farms and their initial purchase of a small herd of crossbred cattle to raise show steers soon grew into the addition of registered Herefords also. Today, Brianne, the youngest daughter, maintains a herd of 25 head. Both girls are now working on their educations -- Sabrina just finished her degrees in chemistry and psychology at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and is now pursuing her Master's in Public Health here at the University of Missouri, and Brianne is continuing her education at Mizzou as well where she is a Pre-Vet scholar with ambitions of completing her DVM in six years. As the girls are "growing up," AbraKadabra needs new faces to help showcase their cattle at youth livestock shows. Call today for information on our calves for sale!
