Aiken Farms

Aiken Farms breeds Hereford cattle in Pickens, SC, serving Pickens County and the Upstate region near Greenville. They participate in national Hereford associations and follow recommended health testing protocols to monitor herd well-being.

Every animal grazes on rotated pastures with shelter barns stocked with locally sourced hay, and calves learn to trust handlers through daily interactions. Their approach balances animal welfare and pasture management to support healthy growth and a calm disposition.

Breeding choices focus on maternal strength and sound footing that adapts well to mixed livestock operations and family-run farms. The farm’s commitment to sustainable grazing practices reflects a respect for the land and a desire to nurture resilient cattle for future generations. Pasture rotations are designed to maintain soil fertility and support a diverse forage mix that contributes to animal nutrition. Hands-on calving support and careful record-keeping help maintain stable herd genetics and health throughout the breeding season.
