Fourche River Farm

Fourche River Farm is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Harvey, AR, in northwest Arkansas near Fort Smith. It maintains breeding stock under protocols set by the American Hereford Association, including routine genetic and health screenings to support strong bloodlines.

The farm’s pasture-based system allows cattle to graze across rolling fields beside the Fourche River, and calves are raised in a calm, hands-on environment from birth. Core values focus on low-stress handling and balanced nutrition to promote steady growth and well-being. Periodic participation at regional fairs highlights the herd’s gentle disposition and structural soundness as Hereford calves regularly earn placements at county-level shows.

Operations are guided by rotational grazing practices and partnerships with local veterinarians to ensure ongoing herd health and pasture sustainability. Greg Hickl draws on two decades of agricultural roots in the region, sustaining a family tradition of land stewardship along this stretch of Arkansas countryside.
