Ethan Hopkins

Ethan Hopkins is a Hereford cattle breeder in Winchester, Tennessee, serving Franklin County and the Cumberland Plateau near Chattanooga. He maintains registration with national Hereford associations and follows recommended health testing protocols, including regular screenings for genetic conditions and herd disease prevention measures. The cattle graze on managed pastures enriched by rotational grazing, and daily gentle handling from birth encourages calm temperaments and strong social bonds among calves.

Hopkins’ four-generation family farm supports sustainable forage practices without the use of growth promotants, aiming to raise resilient Hereford cattle suited to regional climates. Throughout calving season, calves remain close to their dams under vigilant care, while mature cows benefit from balanced nutrition and ample pasture space. His bulls are often selected for breeding projects across the state due to their documented growth rates and structural soundness. Local farmers and neighbors appreciate the uniformity and adaptability of his stock, noting consistent performance in both pasture-based operations and livestock shows.
