H & R Ranch

H & R Ranch, polled miniature Herefords, is based in Ardmore, OK, Carter County and southern Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. The ranch has been devoted to breeding these cattle with emphasis on gentle temperament and solid structure, guided by traceable pedigrees and adherence to national registry standards. Holly Schafer manages the herd and oversees health testing practices including regular wellness checks and nutritional plans tailored for young calves and mature breeding stock.

Animals graze on mixed-grass pastures, with early socialization alongside family and visiting students who learn about responsible husbandry. A multi-generation family operation, the ranch blends longstanding traditions of cattle care with a focus on animal welfare and sustainability. The combination of attentive handling and careful bloodline selection contributes to a reputation for well-adjusted, pasture-ready miniature Herefords suited for both small farms and educational programs. Seasonal herd expansions allow careful selection.
