H And R Ranch

H And R Ranch, miniature herefords, Ardmore, OK, has been dedicated to breeding sturdy, well-socialized cattle for over a decade. It operates in Carter County and south-central Oklahoma near Dallas and follows standards set by national breeding organizations.

Ryan Schafer maintains regular health screenings, pasture rotations and a low-stress environment so calves grow with minimal antibiotics or hormones. Each miniature hereford spends its days grazing in fenced paddocks and greeting guests during weekend farm visits where they learn about cattle care. Breeding goals focus on gentle temperaments and strong conformation to make these cattle suitable for small farms and educational programs.

Its reputation includes repeat buyers who note calm handling and visible health from birth to weaning. Buyers receive health records and periodic photos that track each calf’s growth from birth to selection day. Prospective owners often comment on the personalized support and clear guidance offered before and after their first purchase.
