Eric Penland is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Green Mountain, NC, nestled in Buncombe County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. With over 20 years of experience and membership in the American Hereford Association, he follows strict health-screening protocols to ensure sound genetics and strong immune systems.

His herd lives on open pastures with access to shelter, and calves are gently handled from birth to foster early trust and easy transitions. Regular hoof trimming and parasite control are part of his routine to maintain animal well-being.

A history of consistent growth rates and balanced temperament makes his cattle well-suited for both small-scale farms and larger operations seeking reliable performance. Several of his cattle have placed in state and county livestock shows, reflecting the breed standard for structure and temperament. Buyers note the organized records and reliable lineage as a steady foundation for their own breeding goals.
