Debra Mcdaniel

Debra Mcdaniel, Hereford cattle in Marshall, AR, the Ozark Mountains near Little Rock. Debra Mcdaniel has managed a small herd of Hereford cattle for more than 15 years, following standards set by the American Hereford Association. Her breeding program emphasizes detailed recordkeeping and EPD tracking to preserve genetic integrity.

The cattle graze on open fescue and clover pastures arranged in a rotational system that promotes soil health and forage quality. Socialization begins within days of birth, with calves spending time with family groups on shaded hilltops and sheltered barns to develop calm temperaments and robust immune systems.

Each breeding animal undergoes regular veterinary health screenings, vaccination protocols, and hoof maintenance to support longevity and productivity. A focus on docility and maternal traits, along with nutrient-rich diets that combine fresh forage and custom mineral blends, has drawn favorable mention from nearby livestock associations.
