Jonathan Black

Jonathan Black is a Pineywoods breeder in Bear Creek, NC, in the Piedmont region near Greensboro. He has been raising Pineywoods cattle for more than ten years on his family-run farm and maintains herd health through regular veterinary screenings and genetic evaluations.

His cattle graze on managed pastures, and calves are raised alongside their mothers in a low-stress environment. Jonathan is committed to conserving heritage traits, using selective breeding to support hardiness and temperament. He participates in regional agricultural exhibitions and adheres to breed association guidelines to ensure pedigree integrity.

Calves receive early socialization with family herds, expectant cows are monitored closely, and newborns are hand-checked to promote strong starts. Rotational grazing systems maintain pasture health, support environmental stewardship, and reduce feed costs. The farm covers gently rolling hills that provide natural shelter and ample, diverse forage throughout the seasons.
