Jim Darnell

Jim Darnell is a Hereford cattle breeder in El Paso, TX, West Texas near Las Cruces. He has been raising Hereford cattle for more than fifteen years, holds membership in the American Hereford Association, and participates in regional livestock evaluations. His herd follows a strict health protocol with regular veterinary checks, genetic screening for key traits, and gentle daily handling from day one.

Calves are raised on irrigated grass pastures supplemented with locally harvested hay and have open exercise yards for social interaction and calm development. A multi-generation connection to ranching influences Darnell’s husbandry style, combining all-weather shelters, natural shade trees, and rotational grazing to support animal wellbeing. Neighbors often mention the peaceful pasture visits and balanced conformation of his stock, reflecting steady growth and quiet temperament. The farm emphasis on low-stress handling and transparent breeding records yields registered breeding pairs suitable for beef production or small-scale ranch operations.
