Mottern Farm

Mottern Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder based in New Market, TN, in Jefferson County and the East Tennessee region near Knoxville. The farm has been raising Hereford cattle since 2008, following American Hereford Association guidelines and conducting routine health screenings for calving ease and genetic soundness.

Adult cattle graze on rotational pastures of mixed grasses around wooded stream corridors, while young calves receive regular handling from an early age to promote calm, adaptable temperaments. A simple on-farm weaning process and natural mineral supplementation support steady growth without growth promotants. Mottern Farm’s family operation has long participated in local fairs and agricultural events, allowing prospective buyers to observe cattle performance firsthand.

Their breeding records are maintained transparently, and they share expected calving dates and lineage information with inquiring producers. This focus on low-stress handling and open communication reflects their commitment to sustainable livestock stewardship.
