Holt Family Farms

Holt Family Farms raises Hereford cattle in Dresden, TN, in West Tennessee near Jackson. The farm has cared for Herefords for multiple generations, maintains registrations with national breed associations, and follows industry benchmarks for genetic evaluation. Herd health is monitored through routine veterinary checks, vaccination schedules, parasite management, and detailed performance record-keeping. Animals graze on rotated pastures, with winter feed drawn from locally grown hay and tailored mineral supplements to support steady growth.

The family-run operation centers its work around a century-old barn and adjacent calving fields tucked between rolling hills. Calves are socialized from birth, spending time close to family members to foster a calm, approachable temperament. Management blends traditional pasture-based husbandry with modern nutrition protocols and selective breeding based on structural soundness. Visitors often note the cattle’s ease of handling and balanced conformation, reflecting the farm’s steady commitment to thoughtful care.
