Mackenna Vaughn

Mackenna Vaughn breeds Hereford cattle in New Market, TN, serving East Tennessee near Knoxville. Mackenna Vaughn is a member of the American Hereford Association and follows standard health testing protocols overseen by a licensed veterinarian. Calves grow on rotational pasture systems designed to maintain soil health, and regular handling ensures they develop a calm, confident temperament by weaning.

The breeding philosophy focuses on sustainable grazing practices, herd functionality and longevity rather than rapid weight gain alone. Animals are provided with shade structures, clean water from a spring-fed pond and a balanced ration developed with veterinary guidance. Detailed updates on each calf’s growth milestones and health progress are shared throughout the breeding cycle to maintain transparency. Prospective buyers often note the consistent conformation, gentle disposition and adaptability of each animal, reflecting years of careful selection. Mackenna Vaughn’s small-scale operation allows for personalized attention to each animal and tailored breeding strategies that suit diverse management styles.
