Amanda Cranwell

Amanda Cranwell, Hereford cattle, Scott City, KS, western Kansas near Dodge City. She has been raising Hereford cattle for several years and is a member of the American Hereford Association, ensuring adherence to breed standards and health testing.

Her herd grazes on open grasslands with rotational grazing practices that encourage natural foraging and low-stress handling. Animals receive a balanced diet of pasture forage supplemented by locally sourced grains and trace mineral programs to support growth and reproductive health. Calves are socialized early and spend time in family-run surrounds to foster calm temperaments and strong maternal bonds.

Regular veterinary checkups and vaccination schedules are maintained under guidance from a regional large-animal practitioner. Sustainable ranching methods, such as controlled grazing and water conservation measures, help preserve the prairie ecosystem. Reviewers often appreciate the herd’s gentle disposition and consistent quality in breeding stock.
