Charles R Pursley

Charles R Pursley farms Hereford cattle in Leon, WV, Mason County and the Mid-Ohio Valley near Huntington. The operation has followed American Hereford Association health testing and breed standard guidelines for several years as part of its commitment to sound herd development.

Their cattle graze on rotating pastures and receive daily hands-on care to support calm temperaments and strong growth. Calves are socialized from birth and spend nights under roofed shelters to ensure consistent monitoring through winter months. Several youngstock have been entered in county fairs, reflecting the farm’s long history of meeting structural and temperament benchmarks.

Located on gently rolling terrain, the farm’s barns and equipment are maintained to offer calves a clean environment year-round. Local beef producers note the breeder’s transparent recordkeeping and willingness to share details on herd management practices. Weaning usually occurs at around six months, aligning with industry norms for optimal calf development.
