Muddy Creek Farm & Ranch

Muddy Creek Farm & Ranch, miniature hereford cattle, Crystal Springs, Mississippi, Copiah County and the Jackson metro. Douglas Burch holds membership in the American Miniature Hereford Association and maintains health screenings through certified labs to support structural soundness and genetic health.

Cattle graze on managed pasture with rotational grazing plans, secure shelters for summer heat and winter rest, and regular handling that builds calm temperament before pairing calves with experienced hands. Calving season is managed on-site to monitor each doe and calf through the first critical weeks, ensuring steady growth and adaptation.

The farm traces back three generations of cattle raising and values small herd stewardship, pasture health, and hands-on care on its rolling fields. Their cattle have earned praise for consistent coat quality, sturdy bone structure, and a gentle nature suited for both small farms and therapy settings. Visitors note clear animal records and traceability that underline the farm’s commitment to responsible breeding.
