Julie Haynes

Julie Haynes, Hereford cattle breeder in Bridgeport, WV, maintains her operation in North Central West Virginia near Morgantown. She participates in breeder workshops and seasonal health reviews, and adheres to rigorous testing protocols for Hereford herds, including veterinary check-ups, vaccination schedules and genetic screening. Each animal grazes daily on rotational pasture managed for nutrient-rich forage variety, and she employs low-stress handling techniques to minimize anxiety. In colder months cattle shelter in spacious barns with straw bedding to maintain comfort.

Early, gentle human interaction with young calves supports calm temperaments that carry through to maturity. Routine soil analysis guides grazing rotations and enhances pasture quality throughout changing seasons. Balanced genetics for reliable growth and strong maternal traits reflect her focus on long-term herd consistency. Her commitment to sustainable practices helps preserve soil health, supports local ecosystems and fosters connections with surrounding farms.
