Hershberger Farm

Hershberger Farm is a breeder of Irish kerry cattle in 895 Amish Rd, Sonora, Tuolumne County near Stockton. Since its founding, the farm has adhered to established registry requirements and carries out regular health and fertility screenings to support the long-term well-being of its breeding herd.

Oversight includes rotational grazing across multiple pastures designed to enhance forage diversity and encourage natural herd behaviors, along with early socialization efforts for calves to promote calm temperaments. Housing arrangements combine sturdy fencing with access to shelter sheds filled with straw bedding and clean water stations, allowing cattle to rest comfortably regardless of weather conditions. Henry Hershberger’s multi-generational approach reflects a family legacy of hardy, adaptable cattle that have sustained small farms throughout the region for decades.

Local farmers and livestock enthusiasts praise the farm for consistent herd quality and the steady availability of well-adjusted animals suited to both small-scale operations and larger pastures. Its commitment to thoughtful animal care and traditional husbandry techniques underpins a herd that balances temperament, health and adaptability across changing seasons.
