Paul & Bette Slayton

Paul & Bette Slayton, Hereford cattle, Bedford, PA breeders work in Bedford County and the Allegheny Mountains near Pittsburgh. They have raised Hereford cattle for over two decades with membership in the American Hereford Association, completing annual health screenings for their herd. Their cattle graze on managed grass pastures with rotational grazing, diverse forage species, and are handled daily to build gentle temperaments. All adult cows and bulls undergo genetic testing for key markers, ensuring healthy calves with strong immune systems.

The farm emphasizes low-stress handling and provides calves with clean calving pens and individual attention. Calves are group-housed and receive gentle early handling to promote confidence and ease of management. Generations of Slaytons have maintained this fifty-acre homestead, blending traditional practices with modern welfare standards. Customers often note the herd’s calm demeanor and robust condition in both beef and breeding stock.
