Our Story
It all started in 1953; nestled in the rolling hills of lush, green grass in Northeast Missouri…
Imogene moved to Northeast Missouri to practice as a large animal veterinarian as soon as she earned her DVM from the University of Missouri. Kenny was already raising cattle in the area and in desperate need of professional help during an unusually harsh calving season. Imogene and Kenny worked together to ensure the calf crop was not a total loss for the year. After many, many hours together working with cattle, Kenny and Imogene began to date.
As they grew closer and fell more in love every day, they continued to do what they had a passion for, raising cattle. In 1993, Kenny and Imogene tied the knot forever and officially became the 2nd generation here at Latimer Farms. Kenny and Imogene do everything they can to serve the area in any possible way.
In 2001, Kirby joined the world and quickly fell in love with the cattle and ranch he was raised on. Kirby began his own herd at the mere age of 6 when his parents gifted him his first cow. He has continually fueled his deep rooted passion for cattle ever since. Kirby and his forever best friend, Paige Isensee, are the 3rd generation here at Latimer Farms and continually strive to make cutting edge improvements and promote the best animal health and welfare practices.
Kirby graduated from the University of Missouri in May of 2026 with his DVM, just like his mother. Kirby returned to Northeast Missouri to serve the food animal producers and companion animal owners for decades to come.
Paige graduated from the University of Missouri in May of 2024 with her DVM and now works for the University of Missouri Food Animal Medicine and Surgery department serving food animal producers across the state of Missouri and those surrounding.
The LF team works together to own and manage both a spring and a fall calving herd here at Latimer Farms. The entire crew prides themselves on using the best science, genetics, and medicine there is to offer to raise healthy and happy cattle for you to enjoy across the United States.
