Emma Greenawald

Emma Greenawald breeds Hereford cattle in Hamburg, PA, in Berks County near Reading. She has been working with Hereford lines for several years, registering each animal with the American Hereford Association and conducting regular genetic screening, health evaluations, and hoof inspections. Each calf enjoys pasture access alongside peer animals throughout the day, with sturdy shelters available and daily gentle handling to encourage confidence.

Greenawald emphasizes low-stress handling and rotational grazing, rotating paddocks every few days to promote forage diversity, animal welfare and overall land health. The farm’s facilities include comfortable loafing sheds, secure fencing, and reliable water sources, all designed to support natural behaviors without overcrowding. Health records accompany each animal, with routine vaccinations, parasite prevention, and veterinary checkups overseen by a local large-animal clinic.

The herd’s ancestors were selected for longevity and docility, traits that continue in offspring and draw praise for consistent temperament. She also offers guidance on integrating cattle into pasture-based systems, sharing insights on grazing rotations and seasonal management.
