Live Oak Pastures, LLC

Live Oak Pastures, LLC raises Hereford cattle in Abbeville, LA within Southern Louisiana near Lafayette. The farm has followed pasture-based management for more than a decade and participates in national cattle associations, carrying out routine health screenings and careful record keeping for each animal. Calves are introduced to rotational grazing early on, encouraging natural foraging patterns and supporting muscle development.

Mature animals graze on diverse pastures managed to enhance soil fertility and reduce external feed inputs. Youngstock groups receive low-stress handling and social enrichment, which fosters calm temperaments and steady weight gain. Veterinarian partnerships support vaccination protocols and nutritional assessments, reflecting a focus on animal well-being.

Generational stewardship ties local farming traditions with progressive animal welfare standards, creating herds that thrive in the region’s climate and landscape. Seasonal pastures mirror native grasslands to support biodiversity, and community visits offer a glimpse into day-to-day care and rotation practices.
