Persimmon Ridge Farm

Persimmon Ridge Farm, Limousin, Magnolia, KY, is based in Spencer County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. Ashley Hornback has raised Limousin cattle for over a decade with AICA membership, annual veterinary exams, regular health screenings and genetic testing. The herd lives on open pasture with access to shelter, and calves begin gentle handling within days of birth.

Early socialization includes exposure to family pets and routine farm equipment to foster calm temperaments. Animals graze rotationally to support pasture health and balanced nutrition, and Hornback follows established feeding protocols with supplemental hay during winter for steady growth. Several cattle from the farm have earned ribbons at state fairs and local livestock shows.

Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed pace and clean facilities, reflecting Hornback’s focus on animal well-being. Pasture rotation follows seasonal patterns to maintain soil fertility, and composted manure supports on-farm sustainability.
