Clifford Farms

Clifford Farms is a Hereford cattle farm in Cynthiana, KY, in Harrison County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. For more than a decade the operation has adhered to American Hereford Association guidelines, with routine genetic evaluation and health testing to help preserve breed integrity.

Rotational grazing across open pastures encourages natural foraging and movement, and calves are introduced to gentle handling early to foster calm temperaments. Facilities include a protected calving barn and weatherproof loafing sheds, ensuring animals remain comfortable through seasonal changes. A long-standing family tradition shapes day-to-day care on the rolling hills, blending time-tested methods with modern welfare standards.

Visitors often note the herd’s steady disposition and the thoughtful attention each animal receives during clinic and farm visits. Breeding bulls are selected for temperament and maternal qualities to support predictable calving intervals and sound offspring. Local farmers and extension agents have commended the farm’s transparency in herd records and willingness to share insights.
