Black Rose Herefords

Black Rose Herefords is a Hereford cattle breeder in Little Valley, NY, Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier near Buffalo. The farm has long emphasized genetic health screening and works with the American Hereford Association to ensure registered lineage.

Calves graze on seasonally managed pastures and are introduced to handling routines from an early age to promote ease of movement and calm disposition. Daily pasture rotations help maintain soil health and fuel a balanced diet. The ranch invites local youth groups to learn about responsible cattle care and sustainable practices. Homegrown hay, shelter rotations, and minimal stress protocols reflect the farm’s commitment to individual animal welfare. Breeding selections emphasize maternal traits and hoof health, supporting cattle that thrive through varied seasons and grazing conditions. Meticulous seasonal nutrition planning and annual herd evaluations further strengthen reproductive outcomes and overall herd vitality.
