Marc Norred

Marc Norred breeds Hereford cattle in Holden, LA, in the Florida Parishes near New Orleans. He follows industry guidelines with routine health screenings, conducts DNA profiling, and maintains registration with national breed associations. The cattle graze on fertile pastureland, rotating herds to enhance forage quality and ensure balanced nutrition, with access to mineral supplements during colder months. Animals are handled daily to encourage a calm disposition and are accustomed to low-stress human interaction from a young age.

Drawing on a family tradition of livestock care, Marc values transparent practices and consistent records on lineage and performance. Well-maintained feeding infrastructure and covered shelters protect the herd through variable seasonal conditions. Selective breeding emphasizes structural soundness and maternal traits to support healthy calves and reliable adaptability. An on-site barn includes separate pens for young calves and mature cows to ensure careful monitoring.
