Debra Jerrels

Debra Jerrels is a Hereford cattle breeder in Bronson, FL, on a family farm in Levy County and the Gainesville area. She has bred Herefords for over a decade and maintains membership in regional and national breeder associations, while following recommended health testing protocols for all calves. Her breeding stock is evaluated for structural soundness and maternal traits to support sustainable herd development.

On the farm, animals graze on pasture rotations and are handled daily to encourage a calm disposition. Visitors often note a relaxed setting where cattle graze under oak trees and calves receive individual attention. Jerrels’ focus on gentle temperament and reliable performance has earned positive feedback from local shows and community members.

The farm’s roots trace back to Debra’s grandparents, and she blends traditional grazing methods with modern welfare standards. Pasture management practices support soil health and biodiversity across rolling fields.
