Christine Helm

Christine Helm is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Shippensburg, PA, in Cumberland County and the Cumberland Valley near Harrisburg. Helm has been raising Hereford cattle for several years, following guidelines set by major cattle breed associations and recommended health-testing protocols. The cattle graze on rotational pastures where they have steady access to fresh water and natural forage, supporting sustainable land management.

Calves are socialized from an early age among family members, other livestock and local farm visitors, fostering calm temperaments. The small-scale operation allows personalized attention to each animal’s growth milestones and nutritional needs.

Winter feeding includes locally sourced hay and grains to maintain body condition during colder months. Some of her cattle have placed well at regional agricultural fairs, reflecting consistent calf development and adherence to breed standards. Operating from a family farm that has cultivated livestock for generations, Helm integrates time-honored practices with modern welfare standards.
