Heather Guillotte

Heather Guillotte, Hereford cattle, New Iberia, LA, operates in Acadiana near Lafayette. She has raised Hereford cattle for more than fifteen years, is a certified livestock quality assurance trainer, and is a member of the American Hereford Association.

Herd health includes annual genetic testing for common bovine conditions, regular veterinary inspections, and traceability records for each animal. Animals graze on mixed grass pastures with shaded loafing areas, and are handled daily by experienced staff to promote calm dispositions. Calves are weaned gradually, receive balanced nutrition based on local guidelines for top fitness, and get routine hoof and dental checks.

Breeding stock comes from bloodlines selected for sturdy frames and gentle temperament by previous generations of ranchers, with pedigrees tracing back to foundation herds. The farm follows rotational grazing plans, water sourcing protocols, and soil conservation practices that local extension agents recommend. Clients often note clear communication about animal history, straightforward recommendations on herd management, and helpful follow up after sale.
