Ferrera Valley Farm

Ferrera Valley Farm, breeding Hereford cattle in Taneytown, MD, sits within Carroll County and the Baltimore area. The farm has been raising registered Hereford cattle for over fifteen years and holds membership in the American Hereford Association and the Maryland Cattlemen’s Association. All breeding stock undergoes annual health screenings and genetic testing to ensure sound dispositions and structural integrity.

Pasture-based grazing rotations and daily handling help develop cattle that are accustomed to low-stress interactions. Local livestock specialists often remark on the herd’s calm temperament and robust build. On-site calving barns and sheltered paddocks allow careful monitoring of new calves while embracing time-honored stewardship of the land. The family-run operation began as a small homestead in the early 1900s and continues to blend traditional practices with modern care standards. Calves are introduced to wide-open pastures and gentle handling from an early age, fostering confidence before they join breeding stock or the local livestock market.
