Abj Cattle Co

Abj Cattle Co breeds Hereford cattle in Hondo, NM, Lincoln County and south-central New Mexico near Ruidoso. It has maintained a Hereford herd for several generations, follows American Hereford Association standards with regular health screening, and participates in regional livestock shows. Calves are raised in open pastures with daily handling to promote calm temperaments and strong social bonds before weaning.

With roots in a family tradition of cattle ranching, the operation balances modern management with time-honored practices. Pens with shade structures and seasonal mineral supplements ensure year-round comfort and nutrition across the herd. Performance records are tracked digitally, giving transparent data on breeding outcomes and growth, which many local farmers find reassuring. The ranch employs rotational grazing to preserve pasture health and encourage forage diversity. Breeding decisions are made with structural soundness and temperament in mind, aiming for balanced offspring performance.
