Charles & Gretchen Halfmann

Charles & Gretchen Halfmann raise Hereford cattle in Lipan, TX, serving Hood County in North Texas near Fort Worth. They follow breed association guidelines and maintain a herd health program with regular veterinary exams and genetic testing. Registered cattle move to well-maintained pastures outfitted with secure fencing, nutrient-rich water troughs, and routine wellness checks.

Calves grow alongside adults in a low-stress environment, with daily human interaction to support gentle temperaments. Their breeding program emphasizes structural soundness and functional traits useful for both beef production and family farms. Local livestock shows and area farmers often note the consistency of their offspring’s conformation and calm disposition.

The farm uses rotational grazing to promote soil health and natural forage utilization, and local ranchers appreciate their transparency in sharing herd records and performance data. Each animal leaves the farm with current vaccination records and a detailed health certificate.
