Larry And Diane Ragsdale

Larry And Diane Ragsdale are Hereford cattle breeders in London, AR, Pope County and the Arkansas River Valley near Russellville. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for several years with memberships in national beef associations, and their herd undergoes regular veterinary health screenings and genetic testing to maintain sound breeding lines.

They graze their herd on native grasses, and calves grow up in family groups to strengthen social bonds and ease transitions to adulthood. The farm balances modern breeding practices with traditional livestock husbandry passed down through generations of Arkansas cattle ranchers. A neighboring rancher commented on their calm cattle temperament and reliable herd performance across seasons.

Their pastures rotate seasonally to preserve grass quality and support sustainable land stewardship. They focus on structural soundness and maternal traits to produce calves well-suited for both small-scale farms and larger operations. Health records accompany every animal, reflecting their commitment to openness in breeding practices.
