Ben Smith

Ben Smith breeds Hereford cattle in Brandenburg, KY, serving Meade County and Louisville. He adheres to recommended health tests for growth, fertility and structural soundness while following guidelines set by breed associations. His cattle graze on well-managed pastures with access to shelter and clean water, and calves begin gentle herd socialization soon after birth.

Many of his animals have placed at regional livestock shows, highlighting their balanced conformation and calm disposition. With careful rotational grazing and tailored nutrition plans, herd health is monitored year-round in partnership with local veterinarians. The operation emphasizes transparency, inviting prospective buyers to visit pastures, inspect facilities and meet the herd in a relaxed setting. Regular hoof trimming and herd health checks help prevent common issues, and each animal’s growth milestones are recorded for future breeding decisions.
