Michael Anderson

Michael Anderson, Hereford cattle, Shady Spring, WV, in Raleigh County and southern West Virginia near Beckley, raises healthy stock with attention to lineage. His herd management includes industry-standard health screening and documentation, with routine veterinary checkups and vaccinations to support sound genetics. Records track individual performance, calving intervals, and growth metrics to guide selective breeding decisions. Cattle graze on managed pastures, have access to clean water and shelter, and experience gentle daily handling that fosters calm temperaments and resilience.

He selects sires based on performance data, balancing growth potential and maternal traits in each pairing. Calves sired by performance-tested bulls have shown consistent weight gains and structural soundness in both feedlot and pasture systems. The farm’s rolling pastures and seasonal springs provide a varied diet that promotes hoof soundness and digestive health. Michael’s herd serves commercial operations, small family ranches, and beginner farmers throughout southern West Virginia.
