Heather Welper

Heather Welper is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Era, TX, serving Cooke County and North Texas near Denton. With years of experience and membership in the American Hereford Association, she follows industry-recommended health screenings, including genetic testing, fertility evaluation, and vaccination protocols. Herds graze on rotational pastures at a family-run ranch that includes sheltered loafing areas, fresh water access, and mineral blocks. Calves benefit from daily hands-on socialization alongside older cattle, encouraging steady growth and calm dispositions.

Breeding goals focus on moderate frame scores, strong maternal traits, and forage efficiency suited to regional conditions and grass-fed systems. Animals are handled with calm routines that build gentle temperaments for small-scale farms or youth projects. Heather tracks pedigrees through registered records and offers guidance on sustainable grazing practices. Past buyers note the uniform conformation and consistent coat quality across each calf crop.
