Jerry Rushing

Jerry Rushing is a Hereford cattle breeder in Summit, MS, Pike County and the Jackson area. He has been breeding and raising Hereford cattle for over fifteen years and holds memberships with the American Hereford Association and local agricultural groups.

His cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive regular health screenings, while calves are gently introduced to handling pens to build calm temperaments. Several of his cattle have earned recognition at state fairs and county shows for conformation and temperament. The farm’s open barns and shaded loafing areas ensure livestock comfort year-round, reflecting a commitment to sustainable ranching practices.

Breeding stock undergoes genetic screening for calving ease and growth rates, and every animal is part of a structured herd health program overseen by a local veterinarian. Calves spend early weeks beside their mothers on pasture, allowing natural behaviors to develop before weaning.
