Neyland Hereford Ranch

Neyland Hereford Ranch, Hereford cattle, Madisonville, Tennessee, in Monroe County and the Tennessee Valley near Knoxville, is a family-run herd. Its roots reach back more than thirty years with membership in the American Hereford Association and attendance at regional cattle seminars. The operation maintains comprehensive health testing including calving-ease evaluation, udder-quality assessment, and regular screening for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease.

Calves graze on rotating pastures managed to promote forage diversity, and daily handling encourages early socialization and low-stress responses. Open hillside barns and sheltered loafing areas support strong immune development through exposure to fresh air and seasonal changes. Several of the ranch’s bulls have sired offspring placed at state fairs, reflecting a focus on structural soundness and consistency across generations.

This commitment to herd improvement is matched by transparent communication and a long-term view on genetic progress. A tailored mineral and forage program ensures balanced nutrition throughout the seasons.
