Catalpa Ridge Farm

Catalpa Ridge Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in California, KY, in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. They have built a long-standing program that focuses on structural soundness and genetic health and maintain registrations with the American Hereford Association. Each animal undergoes routine health screenings and receives daily pasture-based care with ample space to graze and socialize.

The farm's open-fence layout encourages herd cohesion and early handling helps calves develop steady temperaments around people. Calving occurs naturally in spring on lush pastures, and a balanced nutrition plan with supplemental minerals addresses specific breed requirements. Catalpa Ridge Farm participates in regional livestock shows and occasional county fairs, reflecting a balanced emphasis on conformation and everyday ranch work.

Regular veterinary assessments and pasture rotation support soil health and animal well-being across seasons. Visitors often note the farm's relaxed atmosphere and the cattle's calm disposition, hallmarks of a thoughtful breeding operation.
