Lazy O Ranch

Lazy O Ranch, Hereford cattle, Abilene, TX, Taylor County and West Texas near San Angelo, blends family tradition with attentive ranching. Run by Edward W. Roeder, the operation has practiced cattle raising for over three generations and aligns with American Hereford Association comprehensive health-screening guidelines.

The herd grazes on native grass pastures, supplemented by a balanced forage-based diet during winter to maintain steady growth. Rotational paddocks and natural water sources support each group’s well-being throughout the seasons. Calves benefit from early socialization in small groups and experience low-stress handling routines that support calm temperaments. Regular veterinary checkups and periodic basic genetic testing help ensure breeding stock remains healthy.

The ranch’s gentle environment often draws praise for producing cattle with steady dispositions suited to both commercial herds and smaller farms. Visitors describe a welcoming atmosphere where animals appear robust and well-adjusted.
