Donald Mcmahan

Donald Mcmahan Hereford cattle in Madison, IN, Jefferson County and the southeastern Indiana region near Louisville. He has been raising Hereford cattle for several years, participates in American Hereford Association programs, and follows recommended genetic and health screening protocols.

His herd grazes on rotational pastures managed for forage diversity, and calves receive hands-on handling from birth to promote calm temperaments. Pasture rotations focus on native grasses and legumes, optimizing nutrition and reducing parasite burdens. Routine hoof care and vaccinations are part of a consistent schedule overseen by a local veterinarian. Bull and heifer calves are group-raised to encourage social behavior and adaptability.

Donald’s breeding goals center on balanced conformation, sound structure, and easy-doing performance, resulting in cattle well suited to small-scale and hobby farms. The farm operates on family land that has supported cattle grazing for generations, and each animal is integrated into a social herd from an early age.
