Aprils Acres

Aprils Acres is a Hereford cattle breeder in Florence, MT, serving Ravalli County and the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula. With several years of experience, the farm maintains a registered herd and follows thorough health protocols including vaccinations, fertility evaluations and nutrition plans guided by a local veterinarian. Cattle graze on open pastures rich in native grasses, and starting at birth each animal is handled daily to encourage ease of interaction.

Breeding decisions emphasize temperament as well as structural soundness to meet both ranching and show ring standards. The operation’s hands-on approach extends to calf development, with sheltered calving areas and continuous monitoring in the first weeks of life. Visitors to the pasture note a calm environment created by consistent routines, spacious paddocks and a commitment to low-stress handling. Lineage and growth data are recorded from weaning to yearling stages to assist buyers in making informed breeding choices.
