J B Persinger Jr

J B Persinger Jr, Hereford cattle, Covington, VA, serves Alleghany County and the Roanoke metropolitan area near Roanoke. The farm draws on decades of local beef production knowledge and collaborates with regional veterinarians to follow standard breed association guidelines for vaccination and genetic health checks.

Pastures are managed on a rotational system to maintain forage quality and support sustainable land stewardship. Cattle receive daily handling and have access to shelter barns during inclement weather and fresh water at all times. Calves stay with their dams through weaning and are gradually introduced to varied grazing environments to foster resilience and social development.

Neighbors often note the even temperament and solid bone structure that reflect careful selection over generations. The operation’s long presence on family land in the Appalachian foothills underscores a commitment to breeding cattle suited for grass-based production and reliable market performance.
