Jeff Holt

Jeff Holt raises Hereford cattle in Decherd, TN, Franklin County and the Cumberland Plateau near Chattanooga.

His herd is registered with national Hereford associations, maintaining detailed records on lineage, and each calf undergoes routine veterinary exams along with structural soundness evaluations. Pasture rotation across several paddocks, shade shelters near feeding areas and round-the-clock access to fresh water support natural behaviors through heat and cold spells alike.

Calves are gently handled from birth to promote calm temperaments and ease future management. Supplemental minerals tailored to Hereford needs and gradual weaning practices contribute to consistent growth rates. The farm’s blend of traditional ranching values and transparent record-keeping ensures well-developed stock that suits family farms or commercial operations. Sustainable grazing practices and minimal intervention reflect a commitment to animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Feedback from regional buyers often notes the cattle’s consistent quality and approachable demeanors.
