Bishop Farm

Bishop Farm, a family-run breeder of hereford cattle in Allegan, MI, is located in west Michigan near Grand Rapids. The operation has been raising hereford cattle for more than a decade and adheres to breed association guidelines with ongoing health screenings and genetic evaluations.

Calves are raised on open pastures and gently introduced to human contact from an early age to support calm temperaments and social skills. The farm’s hands-on approach to feeding, rotating grazing areas, and maintaining clean shelters promotes soil health and animal well-being. Visitors note the cattle’s solid build, friendly disposition, and consistent attention to detail during farm tours and appointments.

The breeding program balances traditional traits with steady improvements in weight gain, docility, and maternal instincts. With simple barn facilities, shaded paddocks, and ample pasture, each animal can follow its natural rhythms throughout all seasons. Their cattle thrive under rotational grazing and are well-suited for pasture-based beef production or quality breeding stock.
