Cox Farms

Cox Farms breeds Hereford cattle in Lexington, TN, in Henderson County and western Tennessee near Jackson. With more than fifteen years of experience and membership in national and state cattle associations, it follows breed-standard health testing for traits like calving ease and structural soundness.

Each calf is raised on rotationally grazed pastures with access to clean water, shelter and regular handling to support calm temperaments. Annual screenings include tests for brucellosis and bovine viral diarrhea virus, and herd records track lineage, weight gain and maternal performance. Its owners focus on selecting cattle that excel in longevity and ease of management, reflecting a farm philosophy centered on animal welfare.

The farmstead has operated since the early 1990s, preserving traditional farming methods alongside modern recordkeeping. Community members appreciate the consistent disposition of the cattle and often note their suitability for both family farms and junior showmanship programs.
