Forked Bayou Ranch

Forked Bayou Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Arnaudville, LA, St. Martin Parish and the Acadiana region near Lafayette. The operation follows American Hereford Association guidelines, performs routine vaccinations, and maintains herd health through regular veterinary care and genetic screening.

As a member of the local cattlemen’s association, the ranch participates in regional gatherings and champions peer learning. Cattle spend their days on open pastures with rotational grazing that mirrors natural foraging, and calves are introduced to gentle handling routines early on to encourage calm temperaments. This approach supports both animal welfare, consistent herd performance, and sustainable land use.

Forked Bayou Ranch emphasizes low-stress handling and a balanced diet to develop cattle suited to regional climates. Her prize bulls and calm heifers often draw interest from nearby farmers seeking sturdy genetics. The ranch’s steady reputation reflects a commitment to responsible breeding, environmental stewardship, and pasture conservation.
