Earnshaw Farm

Earnshaw Farm, Hereford cattle, Mechanicsville, MD, is a family-run operation in St. Mary’s County and the Southern Maryland region near Washington. It offers cattle from bloodlines registered with the American Hereford Association and follows industry-standard health testing protocols to ensure herd vitality.

Several generations of commitment have shaped a herd noted for sturdy frames, balanced weight gain and calm temperaments suitable for small-scale farms and homesteads. Local farmers often cite consistent growth rates, ease of handling at feed time and straightforward weight on finish as key benefits of Earnshaw Farm’s breeding program. The ranch’s relaxed pace and focus on natural forage reflect a belief that well-nourished, stress-free cattle make the healthiest foundation for any pasture-based operation.
