Benjamin Palmer

Benjamin Palmer specializes in Hereford cattle in Amsterdam, OH, in eastern Ohio near Pittsburgh. He has been breeding Herefords for over a decade and maintains herd registration with the national breed association, pairing careful selection with regular veterinary health screenings. His cattle graze year-round on open pastures with access to clean water and shelter, and each calf receives daily hands-on attention to encourage a calm disposition and strong early growth.

The breeding program emphasizes structural soundness, maternal reliability and steady weight gains, qualities area farmers value across beef operations and seedstock programs. Several of his cattle have placed in regional livestock shows, highlighting their structural integrity. Routine fertility evaluations and hoof trimming help maintain animal welfare and performance standards. Calves are weaned naturally and transition to forage-based diets before sire selection and performance testing. This balanced approach yields Herefords well-adapted to varied farm sizes and management styles.
