3R Farm

3R Farm raises Hereford cattle in Dierks, AR, Howard County and the Ark-La-Tex near Texarkana.

They have been raising Hereford cattle for over a decade, hold active membership in national breed associations, follow recommended health screening protocols for parasites, hoof health, and bovine respiratory disease, and use artificial insemination for controlled genetics. Their herd grazes on open pastures using rotational grazing systems to maintain forage quality, and calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperament and early socialization. They schedule routine veterinary examinations to monitor herd health. On-farm backgrounding supports strong growth rates and well-balanced confirmation, while herd records demonstrate above-average marbling scores in finished cattle. The farm operates on land that has supported cattle ranching since the 1970s, combining three generations of hands-on knowledge with modern approaches to nutrition and sustainable land management. Local livestock managers often comment on the consistent health and temperament of the cattle, noting clean living conditions and attentive husbandry practices.
