Borderline Farm

Borderline Farm raises Hereford cattle in Emmitsburg, MD, in Frederick County and the Catoctin Mountains near Baltimore. It has been breeding Herefords for over a decade with membership in national breed associations and annual herd health testing, and the owners collaborate with local 4-H programs to mentor young handlers. Calves graze on rotational pasture designed for diverse forage while receiving daily handling to support calm temperaments. The farm’s setup combines traditional stockmanship with shelter barns and pasture-based finishing to support nutritional needs and sustainable land management.

Reviews often note the breed’s balanced structure and easy-going disposition in mature stock. Genetic selection emphasizes calving ease and feed efficiency to enhance both pasture performance and carcass quality. Veterinarian-planned screenings for common cattle health concerns help inform sound breeding decisions and sustain herd integrity. A family-run operation with deep ties to regional agriculture brings multi-generational knowledge to each breeding cycle.
