Cody L Young

Cody L Young raises Hereford cattle in Gettysburg, PA, serving Adams County and south-central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. They have been working with the Hereford breed for several years and maintain membership in the American Hereford Association, with routine health screening and genetic screening on breeding stock. A balanced nutrition program and rotational grazing help ensure strong growth rates and feed efficiency across the herd. Each calf is handled gently from birth to build confidence, with shelters and fresh water available at all times.

Their emphasis on structural soundness and balanced temperament has received praise from neighboring farms participating in regional livestock shows. Calving takes place in sheltered pens and cattle have outdoor access year-round, adapting well to local weather patterns. Regular evaluations of weight gain and conformation guide breeding decisions to preserve heritage traits and promote longevity. Local producers value the consistency they see in herd health and appreciate the thoughtful approach to farm management.
