Chris Foster

Chris Foster is a Hereford cattle breeder in Cowan, TN, Franklin County and the Cumberland Plateau near Chattanooga.

He has over a decade of experience and maintains herd health through regular veterinary screening and adherence to American Hereford Association guidelines. Calves are raised in open pastures with shelter access and a focus on gentle handling and early socialization to ensure calm temperaments.

The farm operates on principles of sustainable grazing and rotational pasture management to support soil health and animal welfare. The herds move across fields of native grass, providing diverse nutrition and reducing the need for supplemental feed. Prospective inquiries are met with open communication about cattle quality and farm practices. Breeding selections prioritize structural soundness, maternal traits and balanced genetics to maintain productive herd longevity over generations. Rotational paddocks and seasonal pasture moves help protect local waterways and encourage healthy grass regrowth.
