Hill Crest Farm

Hill Crest Farm raises Simmental cattle in Mount Vernon, KY, Rockcastle County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. It maintains registrations with the American Simmental Association and performs health testing for fertility, calving ease, and feed efficiency. With pastures rotationally grazed on native grasses, its herd adapts well to seasonal shifts and local conditions.

Calves are handled gently from birth and spend time in small groups to foster social confidence around farm equipment and handlers. Breeding selections emphasize structural soundness and temperament suited for both commercial operations and small homesteads.

The farm follows a grass-based feeding program complemented by trace mineral supplementation to support steady growth and reproductive health. Facilities include a sheltered calving barn and open feeders to encourage natural behaviors. Many clients note the cattle’s sturdy build and ease of handling, reflecting the farm’s commitment to practical breeding goals.
