Donna Waller

Donna Waller is a Hereford breeder in Buchanan, VA, in Botetourt County and the Blue Ridge region near Roanoke. With more than fifteen years of experience, she maintains memberships in national livestock associations and follows recommended health screenings for optimal herd wellness.

Calves are raised in pasture rotational systems that encourage natural foraging and regular socialization with neighboring herds. Embryo transfer techniques and artificial insemination are used selectively to preserve desirable traits passed down through generations. Routine veterinary checks and carefully recorded breeding plans help ensure strong genetics and a focus on structural soundness.

Her approach balances traditional ranching values with a commitment to environmental stewardship and soil health. Cattle receive a balanced diet with supplemental hay sourced from local meadows during winter months. Family visitors often note the quiet charm of the property and the calm disposition of the cattle, reflecting consistent daily care.
