Jimmy Valdez

Jimmy Valdez, Hereford breeder in Post, TX, runs a family-owned ranch in Garza County and the South Plains near Lubbock. He has been raising registered cattle for more than a decade and maintains active membership in national and regional breed associations.

All of the herd undergo annual health screenings for key genetic traits and receive vaccinations under veterinary guidance. They graze freely across open pasturelands to encourage natural foraging and are handled daily to develop calm, confident temperaments. A system of rotational grazing supports pasture recovery, helping maintain balanced nutrition throughout the year.

The ranch’s approach centers on low-stress handling from birth, with calves introduced early to quiet handling routines. Rolling grasslands and well-maintained fencing create a secure environment where cattle thrive under attentive care. A recent client noted his cattle arrived healthy, well-framed, and quick to adapt to new operations.
