Big Oaks Farm

Big Oaks Farm raises Hereford cattle in Coats, NC, in Harnett County and the Sandhills near Raleigh. The farm has worked with this breed for over 20 years under American Hereford Association guidelines and follows a health-testing schedule that includes foot angle, calving ease, and genetic screening. Natural grazing and a spacious barnyard environment help calves grow at their own pace while daily handling encourages calm temperaments.

Each animal lives on pasture with shelter from seasonal storms, and water sources are rotated to maintain freshness. The owners emphasize a low-stress approach rooted in decades of practical farm experience rather than following industry trends. Customers often note the consistent hardiness of the herd and the clear lineage records maintained on site.

Participation in local agricultural fairs allows them to stay connected with extension resources and community feedback. Detailed health and performance records are maintained for each animal to support selection decisions.
