Jim Bolen

Jim Bolen raises Hereford cattle in Spring City, TN, Roane County and the Cumberland Plateau near Knoxville. With more than fifteen years of experience, he follows industry-recommended health testing and selection standards to maintain sound genetics within his herd.

Calves spend their first months on rich grass pastures, where early handling and group socialization foster a calm temperament. The farm’s rolling fields and sheltered barns offer year-round access to forage and protection in all seasons, and seasonal pasture rotations help maintain soil health and diversify nutritional intake. Modern feeding programs are layered onto traditional grazing practices to support steady growth without compromising well-being, and regular veterinary check-ups reinforce the herd health program.

Long-standing local buyers appreciate the herd’s consistent disposition and sturdy frame, noting uniform weight gains and resilient hardiness. Jim Bolen’s family-run operation reflects a hands-on approach and a commitment to cattle welfare and the Hereford breed’s distinctive qualities.
