Flying A Ranch

Flying A Ranch, Hereford cattle breeders in Anderson, TX, are nestled in East Texas near College Station. David Atkins and Elaine Atkins have been raising Hereford cattle for more than two decades and hold memberships with the American Hereford Association. Their herd participates in routine genetic screening and health testing to support strong maternal traits and efficient growth. Animals graze on open pastures and spend nights in climate-controlled barns designed to foster comfort and regular herd interaction.

Their approach emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization of calves, and visitors note calm temperaments across age groups. Roots in family farming traditions guide feeding regimens that balance forage with supplemental minerals. Consistent reviews highlight the ranch’s attention to detail in breeding choices and animal well-being. Ongoing pasture rotation and winter hay conservation reflect their commitment to sustainable land use and long-term herd vitality.
