Flat Stone Lick

Flat Stone Lick, Hereford cattle in Marianna, Pennsylvania, southwestern Pennsylvania and the Ohio River Valley near Pittsburgh. Flat Stone Lick has been raising Hereford cattle for more than two decades under American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts routine genetic and health evaluations.

Its cattle graze on mixed pastureland alongside an old stone lick that gives the farm its name, and young calves are socialized from birth in quiet handling pens. As a registered herd focused on structural soundness, it schedules regular hoof and dental care and partners with a local veterinarian for annual herd checks. Reviewers note calm temperaments and steady growth rates in this bloodline.

Beyond standard breeding goals, Flat Stone Lick emphasizes balanced frame and maternal traits to support both small-scale farms and budding show programs. Visitors often comment on the scenic rolling hills and the farm’s respectful approach to pasture rotation and habitat conservation.
