Eric Elkington

Eric Elkington, Hereford cattle breeder in Idaho Falls, ID, works from his family farm in Southeastern Idaho near Pocatello. He has spent the past twelve years developing a herd that meets American Hereford Association standards and participates in genetic and health screenings to ensure strong bloodlines.

His cattle graze on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments suited for family farms. Calves are socialized early, allowing them to adapt smoothly to a variety of environments and management styles. The farm’s lineage includes several state fair champions, reflecting a commitment to balanced traits of growth rate and docility.

Visitors often note the herd’s even temperament and the farm’s respectful approach to land stewardship. He takes pride in rotating pastures to maintain soil health and offers guidance to neighboring farms on regenerative grazing methods. Each animal is monitored through every growth stage with regular veterinary check-ups and traceability records kept on site.
