Nancy Bissinger, Pineywoods cattle, Poplarville, MS, Pearl River County and south Mississippi near Hattiesburg. Nancy Bissinger has maintained a small herd of Pineywoods cattle for over a decade under guidelines from national breed associations, with annual veterinary inspections and regular health testing.

The cattle are raised on lush pasture with rotational grazing to support animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Calves are handled daily from birth to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization before weaning. She participates in annual breed evaluations, holds certification for brucellosis and tuberculosis testing, and offers occasional workshops for local producers.

Breeding animals are selected for adaptability, foraging ability and maternal instincts to strengthen herd performance. Her farm emphasizes sustainable practices, integrating native forage and shaded pasture shelters across rolling acreage. The herd contributes to regional conservation efforts by preserving the genetics of a heritage breed and promoting awareness of traditional cattle farming.
