Duncan Patton

Duncan Patton raises Hereford cattle in Comer, GA, in northeast Georgia near Athens. With a commitment to breed-standard health screenings and active registration with the American Hereford Association, he ensures each animal meets wellness benchmarks. Patton’s herds thrive on rotational pasture systems that encourage natural grazing behaviors and strengthen social bonds. He emphasizes early handling and exposure to varied farm environments so calves develop confidence and resilience.

Living on open fields bordered by hardwood forests, the cattle benefit from seasonal forage diversity and shaded resting areas during hot months. Animals are carefully selected for balanced conformation, gentle disposition, and adaptability to both pasture and handling routines, supporting both family farms and small-scale producers. Regular mineral supplementation drawn from local sources and seasonal hoof care contribute to overall herd vitality and sound structural health. Annual performance records guide breeding decisions and ensure consistent offspring quality across each generation, with weight gain and temperament monitored closely.
