Danny Payne

Danny Payne raises Hereford cattle in Lexington, NC in the Piedmont region near Greensboro, blending husbandry and breed traditions. He follows breed standards recognized by national associations and recommended health-testing protocols for genetic soundness and herd vitality.

Calves spend the first eight weeks on open pasture with shelter built to withstand variable weather, and they receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments.

Owners often remark on the Hereford’s gentle nature and uniform growth patterns, noting these qualities ease integration into diverse agricultural settings. He provides ongoing support to buyers, sharing best practices for grazing management, herd health scheduling, and handling tips for new owners.
