Jerod Doty is a full-time firefighter with a passion for farming. This passion is rooted in traditions much older than him.  His ancestors purchased their first farm in the late 1800's.  Although some have passed, they planted the seeds of respect for this land that sustains us and those seeds continue to grow.  Jerod has worked on his family's Northern Illinois farm for his whole life, following in the footsteps of those who came before him.  He is a lifelong learner, and has spent years experimenting, researching, and expanding his farming repertoire.  Always on the lookout for the next adventure, he decided it was time to bring cattle back to the farm. Thus, Doty Cattle Company was born in 2016. We specialize in corn-fed USDA certified beef. Take a look around, and contact us if you are interested in purchasing a quarter, half, or whole beef.
