Katie Fry

Katie Fry raises Hereford cattle in Mifflin, PA, within Mifflin County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. She has been working with the breed for several years, following guidelines from the American Hereford Association and maintaining routine health screenings for calving pairs.

Katie’s cattle graze on rotational pastures and calves are handled daily to encourage steady growth and calm temperaments. Animals live in open barns with straw bedding and have access to shade and shelter during extreme weather. Local farmers note the uniformity of her stock at feeders and emphasize their adaptability in both grass and barn finishes. A focus on balanced nutrition and attentive care helps each animal thrive at every stage.

Breeding decisions are guided by performance records and maternal qualities to improve herd genetics, supported by a nutrient-rich diet tailored to each stage and regular collaboration with a local veterinarian to monitor herd health. Feedback from regional feedyards highlights consistent performance, while first-time buyers appreciate the straightforward guidance provided by Katie.
