Kaitlin Smith

Kaitlin Smith, Hereford cattle, Alto, TX, raises a carefully managed, close-knit herd in Deep East Texas near Houston. She has been breeding registered Hereford cattle for more than ten years and belongs to the American Hereford Association, with every animal receiving scheduled health evaluations and genetic screenings.

Animals live in mixed pastures bordered by hardwood groves and native forbs, where they graze freely and form natural herd bonds before coming into the barn for routine handling sessions. Calves enjoy early exposure to gentle handling and are accustomed to quiet pastures and routine human interaction.

The farm remains family operated, rooted in local traditions that emphasize balanced temperaments and consistent beef quality. A recent visitor noted the cattle’s calm disposition and even feed distribution, reflecting a commitment to low-stress husbandry. Rotational grazing on native grasses supports pasture vitality and contributes to lean, well-marbled beef.
