Fordyce Farms

Fordyce Farms, a Hereford cattle breeder in Byesville, OH, serves Guernsey County and the Appalachian foothills near Cambridge. They have been raising registered Hereford cattle for several years and participate in national breed associations that emphasize genetic health and conformation. Their breeding program includes routine veterinary health testing for fertility, growth traits, and common herd diseases.

The herd grazes on open pastures with rotational grazing practices to promote soil health and natural forage intake. Calves are socialized from birth through gentle handling to foster ease of management and a calm temperament. The farm sits on gently rolling hills that provide natural windbreaks and well drained pastures, supporting cattle comfort through seasonal weather. This attention to balanced nutrition and herd welfare contributes to cattle well suited for a range of farming operations.

Fordyce Farms operates as a family run ranch, blending traditional livestock husbandry with modern record keeping to maintain herd consistency over generations.
