Frank Vendituoli specializes in Hereford cattle in Elgin, AZ, Santa Cruz County and the Sonoran Desert near Tucson. With more than a decade of experience, he holds memberships in the American Hereford Association and ensures each animal undergoes routine health screenings for genetic traits and overall wellness.

He raises calves on open pastures with daily grazing rotation to mimic natural patterns. He offers year-round access to clean water and shaded loafing areas, adapting routine herd health checks to the seasonal variations of the desert climate.

Several of his bulls have earned breed championship ribbons at regional county fairs, and his cattle are occasionally featured in local agricultural showcases. The farm operates with a focus on sustainable practices, drawing praise from neighbors for its respectful approach to land stewardship year after year.
