Erin Billiot

Erin Billiot, Hereford cattle, Ville Platte, LA, in central Louisiana near Lafayette, has been raising and refining quality Hereford cattle on her family-owned ranch for over twelve years. She is an active member of the American Hereford Association and adheres to recommended genetic assessments, herd health screenings, and vaccination schedules to maintain herd wellness.

The cattle graze on open Bermuda and fescue pastures with ample shade and fresh water, and calves are introduced to handling and low-stress exercises early to develop calm temperaments. The farm’s approach prioritizes balanced nutrition, seasonal mineral supplementation, and hands-on care from birth through maturity, ensuring uniform growth and strong structural soundness. Erin’s program features carefully selected bloodlines known for maternal traits, feed efficiency, and adaptability to varying local climates and pasture conditions.

The family-run operation emphasizes rotational grazing techniques to support pasture health, conserve resources, and reduce environmental impact on the surrounding acres. Consistent feedback highlights the friendly disposition, sturdy frames, and efficient weight gains that suit both small hobby farms and larger commercial operations across the region. In addition to livestock sales, Erin provides personalized guidance on herd management, feed programs, and marketing strategies for new and experienced cattle producers alike.
