Bill & Sarah Hamm

Bill & Sarah Hamm raise Hereford cattle in Elkins, Arkansas, in the Ozark National Forest near Fayetteville. They have more than 15 years of experience breeding registered Hereford cattle and maintain memberships in the American Hereford Association and state agricultural groups, adhering to recommended health testing protocols.

Their cattle graze on open pastures using rotational grazing to support herd health and soil vitality. Calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments, and adult animals receive regular veterinary screenings. The Hamm family farm reflects a commitment to sustainable practices passed down through generations.

One local rancher notes the animals’ consistent vigor and even temperament as a testament to the Hamm approach. They manage pastures to preserve native grasses and ensure ample shade and water access year-round. Regular record keeping helps them monitor growth rates and herd performance. Well-maintained fencing and natural shelter contribute to safe, low-stress environments.
