Keith Mikel

Keith Mikel breeds Hereford cattle in Paragould, AR, in northeast Arkansas near Memphis. With more than a decade of experience, he maintains associations with national cattle registries and implements regular health screenings and genetic profiling for his herd.

His cattle graze on well-managed pastures, have access to shaded loafing areas and fresh water, and receive routine handling from weaning onward to promote calm dispositions. He emphasizes maternal strength and consistent temperament to produce cattle suited for small-scale farms and larger operations. Cattle rotate through seasonally managed paddocks that support forage diversity and help maintain healthy pastures.

Detailed records track breeding lines and health treatments, ensuring transparency for those evaluating genetic traits. Well-ventilated barns offer shelter during inclement weather, supplementing the seasonal pasture environment, and bedding is refreshed regularly. Knowledge of beef markets guides breeding decisions toward balanced growth and efficient feed conversion.
