Newcomb Pastures

Newcomb Pastures, Hereford cattle, Bardstown, KY, serve Nelson County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. With more than a decade of selective breeding guided by American Hereford Association standards, Newcomb Pastures maintains full registration for each animal and conducts year-round veterinary health testing including fertility evaluations and immune screenings.

Calves grow up on rotating open pastures, managed for forage diversity, and receive balanced mineral supplementation alongside clean water sources. They are handled gently from birth in a low-stress environment, socialized to farm routines and regular human interaction to promote trust and ease of handling at any age. A family-run operation since 2008, Newcomb Pastures relies on decades-old barns for winter shelter and pasture rotation plans to support soil health and animal welfare.

The farm participates in local agriculture extension programs and shares insights at county fairs to foster community knowledge and responsible cattle stewardship. Several buyers note in independent reviews the herd’s calm disposition and healthy growth rates, highlighting the consistent conformation of yearlings.
