Chance Young

Chance Young is a Hereford cattle breeder in Springville, TN, in Blount County and the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near Knoxville. He maintains registered stock with the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health screenings for every calf. All cattle receive a balanced diet enriched with local forage and mineral supplements tailored to Hereford needs, with veterinary exams scheduled throughout the year. Chance Young raises his cattle on open pasture with rotational grazing paddocks and introduces calves to gentle handling routines from an early age.

His operation keeps a modest herd size to ensure individual attention and steady weight gains, with a focus on calm temperaments and sound structure. The farm’s rolling fields and natural springs support year-round pasture growth and give young animals space to explore. He participates in local livestock fairs and shares breeding insights at regional workshops, fostering community ties. Biosecurity measures and record-keeping are managed on site to safeguard herd health and traceability.
