JTP Farms

JTP Farms is raising Hereford cattle in Utica, KY with attentive care on pastures in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. The operation has adopted health-screening standards recognized by national registries, maintains detailed records for bloodline and performance, and collaborates with local extension services to refine breeding goals.

Calves are introduced to gentle handling from an early age and graze in rotational paddocks to support natural behavior and muscle development. Owners embrace sustainable practices, producing on-site hay and minimizing confinement to foster calm temperament and robust health. Established with a focus on generational knowledge, the breeding program combines traditional selection with feedback from neighboring producers.

Visitors often comment on the cattle’s balanced structure and steady disposition during farm tours. Breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary assessments to ensure longevity and fertility across herd generations. Their approach emphasizes balanced nutrition with trace mineral programs tailored to each growth stage.
