Alexander Cowden

Alexander Cowden, a Hereford cattle breeder in Hickory, PA, serves Beaver County and the Allegheny Valley near Pittsburgh. With years of commitment to quality bloodlines, he registers every animal through the American Hereford Association and carries out routine health tests to support calving ease and overall vitality. Cowden maintains detailed performance records on weight gain and maternal traits to guide future matings.

His cattle graze on rotational pastures and have access to sheltered loafing areas, promoting strong hooves and robust growth in seasonal weather. On-farm facilities include biosecure housing and a dedicated maternity barn, ensuring attentive care at every stage of development.

Daily handling of calves from an early age helps shape the gentle dispositions his herd is known for. A neighbor noted that Cowden’s calves show a calm temperament and solid conformation, reflecting a consistent breeding philosophy grounded in stewardship and animal welfare.
