Joseph H Guilbeaux

Joseph H Guilbeaux is a Hereford cattle breeder in Lafayette, LA. The farm is located in Lafayette Parish and the Acadiana region near Baton Rouge, where rolling pastures and subtropical winters support year-round grass-fed development. Guilbeaux has been raising Hereford cattle for more than two decades and holds membership in the American Hereford Association, with breeding stock tested for structural soundness and horned and polled genetics. Herd records are available on request, and every animal undergoes regular hoof care and health screening to maintain herd vitality.

Calves are reared in small groups, handled daily to build confidence, and introduced to free-choice minerals and covered loafing sheds before weaning. A rotational grazing plan combined with clean water on pasture helps minimize stress and encourages consistent weight gain. The ranch’s focus on temperament, balanced frame scores, and practical performance data reflects a practical approach that suits both commercial cattlemen and family farmers.
