Bill Shoupe

Bill Shoupe, Hereford cattle, Rogersville, TN, manages a small-scale family farm dedicated to nurturing healthy, well-structured herds in Northeast Tennessee near Johnson City. Its cattle are registered with recognized breed associations and are monitored through routine hoof and health evaluations to promote structural soundness and a calm temperament. Each calf receives daily handling from birth and thrives in pastures rotationally grazed for forage variety, and this early socialization helps develop confident animals suited for various livestock programs.

The farm’s rolling fields have been in family stewardship since the 1980s, earning steady praise for calm, well-muscled stock. Health screenings for hoof strength and overall herd fitness are conducted early, ensuring robust growth and longevity, and periodic evaluations help detect concerns quickly before they impact the group. Partnerships with local veterinarians ensure timely vaccinations and wellness checks, and emergency support and performance reviews strengthen herd health across seasons. Manure management contributes to soil health, maintaining vibrant pasturelands year round, and the cycle of pasture renewal supports grazing livestock while enhancing environmental stewardship.
