Joni Brewer follows breed registry standards, maintains routine health screenings and carries out regular vaccination schedules, helping minimize congenital issues common in Herefords.

These cattle graze on a mix of native grasses across gently rolling pastures and receive daily handling, encouraging calm, well-mannered dispositions suited to both shows and family farms. The operation emphasizes sustainable grazing practices, including rotational paddocking and cover cropping, to support both herd health and long-term land vitality.

Careful breeding decisions aim to preserve temperament and conformation across generations.
