Burnt Hickory Farms

Burnt Hickory Farms raises Hereford cattle in Dallas, GA, serving Paulding County near Atlanta. This family-run operation has bred Herefords for over 20 years, maintains American Hereford Association registrations, conducts regular health screenings, and participates in breed improvement programs led by regional extension services.

Their breeding program emphasizes gentle temperaments and adaptability to diverse climate conditions, traits valued by ranchers across the Southeast. Pasture maps and feeding records are kept for every animal to ensure consistency and traceability in growth patterns. Burnt Hickory Farms participates in regional livestock shows to showcase cattle quality and gather peer feedback.
