Nida Brothers Hereford

Nida Brothers Hereford, Hereford cattle, Big Stone Gap, VA, Wise County and the Appalachian Highlands near Bristol are a family-run breeder with over two decades of hands-on experience. They hold active membership in the American Hereford Association and follow a herd health protocol that includes routine veterinary screenings, fertility assessments and calving-ease genetic tests. Cows and calves graze on diverse pastures, supplemented by mineral-rich forage, and are handled daily to foster calm temperaments and early socialization.

The brothers work from their original homestead, blending time-honored grazing methods with detailed record-keeping to track lineage and performance. Their commitment to low-stress handling has earned remarks in local reviews for the gentle nature of their stock. Fall-calving seasons are timed to match regional forage growth, supporting steady weight gains and overall herd vitality. Several animals have placed well at county fairs, showcasing balanced conformation and sound structure that align with breed standards.
