Karen Lyday

Karen Lyday raises Hereford cattle in Seguin, TX, within Guadalupe County and the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. She has bred Hereford cattle for over 15 years on family pasture, is a member of the American Hereford Association, and arranges annual veterinary exams along with genetic screening. Her herd grazes open grasslands and creekside fields, and calves begin daily social sessions to build confidence, ease routine work and support healthy growth.

The farm reflects a legacy handed down since the 1940s, and offspring often win ribbons at county and state livestock shows for their balance of disposition and weight gain. All breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary exams and core vaccinations, with records maintained for transparent breeding decisions. Live births take place in well lit barns adjoining the main pasture to ensure quick attention if needed. The cattle are adapted to Texas summers with shade shelters and fresh water available at all times.
