Hereford Springs Cattle Co

Hereford Springs Cattle Co, Hereford cattle, Marion, VA in Smyth County and southwestern Virginia near Roanoke, breeds healthy stock. The herd is registered with the American Hereford Association and undergoes routine veterinary health screenings. Animals graze on rotational pastures, and calves stay with their mothers while receiving daily handling to build trust. Owners maintain a farm tradition spanning two generations, fostering a focus on temperament and resilience.

Breeding emphasis includes structural soundness and docile temperament, traits valued by small-scale and commercial producers alike. This approach has received positive feedback from local agricultural extension agents and neighbors for consistency and animal welfare. Calving season is managed on pasture with supplemental hay and mineral feeding through winter, while fenced fields limit parasite exposure and water sources are tested regularly to maintain herd well-being. Their cows have produced calves with growth rates aligning with breed standards while preserving maternal instincts.
