Amanda Free

Amanda Free raises Hereford cattle in Bradford, Arkansas, serving central Arkansas near Little Rock. Her experience spans multiple calving seasons, and she maintains membership in the American Hereford Association, following recommended health screening protocols to ensure a sound breeding herd.

Her cattle graze on well-managed pastures and receive daily handling from birth to foster calm temperaments. A mixed forage program ensures balanced nutrition year-round, with mineral supplements tailored to Hereford cattle needs. Daily pasture rotations and regular exercise support strong bone development and natural foraging behaviors. The family-run farm combines modern breeding records with a pasture-based heritage to support herd resilience.

The operation places emphasis on low-stress calving overseen on-site, providing consistent care and close observation of newborns. The farm occasionally hosts educational visits for local 4-H clubs and college students, sharing practical insights on herd management and responsible livestock stewardship.
