Forest Hill Farm

Forest Hill Farm, Hereford cattle, Amherst, VA in Amherst County and the Blue Ridge foothills near Charlottesville. The farm has been raising Herefords for over a decade and participates in American Hereford Association programs with recommended health testing for every herd member.

Several cows and bulls are performance-tested to ensure calving ease and steady weight gain under pasture conditions. Cattle roam rotational grazing paddocks bordered by mature oaks, with year-round access to shelter, fresh water and mineral supplements. Each animal receives hoof trimming and routine vaccinations under the guidance of a local veterinarian. The herd is handled daily from birth to encourage calm temperaments and smooth weaning transitions.

A few steers have placed at regional livestock shows, reflecting the farm’s focus on structural soundness and gentle disposition. Sustainable pasture management includes soil testing and timely reseeding to support forage quality throughout each season.
