Beckleys Herefords

Beckleys Herefords is a Hereford operation in Irvine, KY, in the Appalachian region near Lexington. The family-owned farm draws on decades of multi-generation experience in raising Hereford cattle and maintains comprehensive herd health testing. Membership in state and regional cattle associations informs breeding decisions, promotes best practices, and supports detailed record keeping. Calves graze on open pasture with shelter in weather extremes and receive daily handling for calm temperament.

The farm uses rotational grazing on native grasses and low-stress weaning protocols to support steady growth and resilience to local climates. Animals are regularly shown at county fairs, reflecting attention to structure and temperament. Consistent socialization and attentive care help produce docile cattle well suited for small farms and grass-fed programs. Rolling pastures and modern shelter designs allow cattle to flourish year-round under close supervision, while biosecurity measures safeguard herd health.
