Gifford Farm

Gifford Farm raises Hereford cattle in Mt. Olive, Kentucky, in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. The family-run farm follows American Hereford Association standards and has been breeding registered Hereford stock for over a decade with regular health screenings.

Calves remain with their dams on well-managed pastures before transitioning to rotational grazing that supports forage quality and digestive health. Daily hands-on care includes gentle handling and early exposure to farm routines, building trust and easygoing temperaments. Their grass-fed approach on gently rolling hills contributes to steady weight gains and the development of robust frames well suited for beef production.

Customers appreciate the farm’s historic red barn and the transparency of on-site visits, noting the calm environment and attentive staff. Veterinary partnership is maintained year-round for vaccination schedules, fertility monitoring, and nutritional guidance. With a focus on animal welfare and lasting breeder relationships, Gifford Farm upholds traditions of quality and integrity in its Hereford herd.
