Meredith Dudding

Meredith Dudding, Hereford cattle, Eagle Rock, VA, serves Rockingham County and the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. She has more than 12 years of experience breeding Hereford cattle, maintains registration with the American Hereford Association, and conducts routine health screenings for parasites and genetic traits. Emphasis on longevity and maternal strength guides selection decisions for every calf crop. Herds graze on rotational pastures with access to sturdy shelters, while calves experience early handling and gentle exposure to farm routines to promote calm temperaments.

Several animals have earned ribbons at regional fairs for structural soundness and quiet disposition. Milking platforms and mineral feeders support steady growth and overall herd wellbeing throughout the seasons. The farm’s soil-tested pastures and a balanced hay program aim to sustain fertility and nutrition. A reputation for consistent calving intervals and patient animal care has led to satisfied local farmers and repeat mentorship opportunities with newer producers in the valley.
