Harrison Mcmahon

Harrison Mcmahon breeds Hereford cattle in Ayr, Nebraska, central Nebraska near Lincoln. They follow recognized breed association guidelines and make sure animals receive recommended health screenings, including regular veterinary exams and genetic testing. Each calf is raised on pasture, introduced to routine handling to foster calm temperaments, and provided supplementary feed in winter for steady growth. Early socialization with handlers is combined with pasture access to encourage healthy growth and confidence.

The operation emphasizes a balance of beef performance and strong maternal traits, with cattle grazing rotationally to support soil health and pasture rejuvenation. Pastures are bordered by shelterbelts that provide shade and wind protection throughout the year. Visitors often note the herd’s steady behavior during feeding and handling, reflecting the farm’s focus on consistent, low-stress care. Calving takes place in the spring, aligning with natural forage availability and seasonal rhythms.
