Jacob Bowen

Jacob Bowen breeds Hereford cattle in Sunderland, MD, serving Calvert County and the Chesapeake Bay region near Annapolis. With more than a decade of experience, Bowen participates in national registry programs and follows breed club guidelines to ensure clear documentation of lineage and health testing for key genetic conditions. Animals are raised on open pasture with gentle handling beginning in the first days of life, encouraging calm behavior, early human interaction, and healthy growth.

Cattle graze on rotational paddocks supplemented with mineral-balanced feed, and younger animals have access to sheltered pens during colder months. Several cattle from the herd have placed in county shows, and the farm occasionally hosts visits for local students to learn about sustainable agriculture. Regular veterinary checkups and simple record-keeping help maintain herd health and transparency for buyers. Feedback highlights Bowen’s clear communication and thoughtful updates throughout the breeding process.
