Morgan Griggs

Morgan Griggs is a Hereford cattle breeder in Watkinsville, GA, Oconee County and the nearby city of Athens. Morgan Griggs has been raising Hereford cattle following standards set by the American Hereford Association, ensuring regular health screenings and genetic evaluations.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures designed to promote natural foraging and strong herd dynamics, and calving takes place in open barns that offer shelter while maintaining fresh air and space. Animals are socialized from birth to gentle handling, reflecting a philosophy that stress-free livestock lead to healthier herds. The operation also recycles manure as natural fertilizer, supporting soil health across the pastures.

On the family’s farmland, this approach has shaped a small but steady breeding program dedicated to preserving breed traits and temperament. Local farmers note the calm demeanor and robust health of these cattle, qualities that speak to the breeder’s consistent care and attention.
