Bird Ranches

Bird Ranches is a Hereford cattle breeder in Midland, TX, in the Permian Basin near Odessa. With a focus on structural soundness and temperament, it follows industry-recommended health testing protocols, participates in regional certification programs, and maintains detailed lineage records.

Cattle graze year-round on native pastures, with early handling and group socialization to develop calm temperaments and adapt them to various environments. Owner Lynn Born emphasizes rotational grazing, soil conservation, and balanced forage mixtures to support animal health and environmental sustainability. Calves receive individual health assessments at birth paired with trace mineral supplementation and gradual weaning to support consistent growth and longevity.

Bird Ranches participates in regional cattle shows and grading events to validate breeding goals and gauge performance. Regular veterinary checkups, custom nutrition plans, and transparent performance reporting ensure each animal meets expectations for conformation and productivity. Prospective buyers appreciate the ranch’s attention to detail and willingness to share video updates and pasture reports during pre- and post-sale periods.
