Painted Coyote Farm

Painted Coyote Farm, Hereford cattle, Cottondale, FL, in Jackson County and the Florida panhandle near Tallahassee. It has spent over a decade developing a herd aligned with American Hereford Association guidelines, with routine health testing for bovine respiratory disease, vibrio, and brucellosis. The farm is committed to sound husbandry practices, environmental stewardship measures, and seasonal rotational grazing on fertile coastal plains pastures. It maintains birth records and lineage certificates for registered calves and shares documentation with fellow breeders.

Calves are raised in family-style pastures where gentle handling begins in the first weeks, and shelters with clean bedding are available. Painted Coyote Farm balances growth rates and temperament, selecting animals for steady weight gain and calm behavior. Its approach has earned favorable feedback from local producers and occasional county fair ribbons. The farm manages pastures to support native grasses and reduce supplemental feeding.
