Mckelvy Farm

Mckelvy Farm, Hereford cattle, Vinemont, AL, in Cullman County and the Tennessee Valley near Huntsville. The farm has raised Herefords for several years in line with American Hereford Association guidelines, including regular health checks and genetic screenings to maintain breed integrity.

The cattle graze across rolling pastures managed through rotational grazing to support soil health and year-round forage availability. During spring calving season, each newborn receives hands-on care and early exposure to routine handling, fostering calm temperaments. Mature bulls are housed in separate paddocks with shelter access and undergo periodic wellness assessments to ensure strength and fertility. Infrastructure includes a climate-controlled barn for winter housing and shaded lots for summer comfort, supporting consistent welfare year-round.

One nearby ranch manager observes the herd’s gentle disposition on loading days and strong maternal bonds. Farm caretakers emphasize consistent low-stress routines that help produce adaptable animals for diverse farm operations.
