Cow Swamp Creek Farms

Cow Swamp Creek Farms raises miniature hereford cattle in Grimesland, NC, Pitt County and the coastal plains near Greenville. With over a decade of selective breeding, the farm participates in breed association programs and follows health-screening recommendations from national cattle registries.

Animals graze on rotational pasture with constant access to sturdy shelter, fresh water, and daily handling to foster calm temperaments and ease acclimation. Pasture quality is assessed regularly by soil testing, and mineral supplements are provided based on body condition monitoring and seasonal forage analysis. Seasonal herd rotations support forage diversity, improve soil health, and minimize environmental impact.

The operation emphasizes sustainable land stewardship and reflects owner Robert Schlegel’s deep farming roots. Breeding records are meticulously maintained to track lineage and genetic traits. Clients note the clear communication and the consistent frame of the cattle, a testament to attentive breeding and husbandry.
