David & Christi Roberts

David & Christi Roberts, Hereford cattle, Avery, TX, Red River County and the Piney Woods near Texarkana. They have been raising registered Hereford cattle for over a decade, following Texas and American Hereford Association standards and conducting routine vaccinations, hoof trimming and genetic screening on every calf. Their operation emphasizes rotational grazing on mixed grass pastures with daily handling to foster early socialization and steady temperaments.

A century-old barn provides a sheltered space for calving and veterinary care, and detailed records track lineage, growth rates and maternal traits. They compost manure and rotate watering points to support pasture health and sustainability. Their calves are weaned using low-stress protocols to ease the transition and maintain steady weight gain.

Some of their calves have earned placings at regional fairs, reflecting consistent muscling and docile behavior. Local smallholders appreciate the Roberts’ clear communication, practical guidance on herd management and the calm demeanor of the animals throughout the breeding process.
