Callie B Taylor

Callie B Taylor, Hereford cattle breeder in Maysville, West Virginia, operates in the Ohio River Valley near Charleston. She has been breeding registered Hereford cattle for more than a decade, follows health testing recommended by the American Hereford Association and attends regional livestock shows. A family-run farm, Taylor rotates her herd through well-managed pastures sheltered by mature oaks, ensuring cattle enjoy space to graze and ample shelter.

Calves are handled daily from birth to build calm temperaments, and family members join in routine chores to strengthen social bonds. A focus on balanced nutrition and regular soil and forage testing supports steady growth and fertility. Selection emphasizes structural soundness and maternal traits to help each calf contribute to herd longevity.

Visitors note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere, clean barns and clear lineage records for every animal. This hands-on approach has earned praise from neighboring farms, where cattle are praised for their ease around people and resilient condition.
