Peterson Farms

Peterson Farms is a Hereford cattle breeder in Yuma, TN, serving Carroll County and west Tennessee near Memphis. Peterson Farms has been raising Hereford cattle for more than 30 years, participates in the national Hereford registry, and conducts routine herd health screenings including annual hoofcare and vaccination updates. Animals graze on open pastures with shaded loafing areas and access to spring-fed water, and calves receive daily handling from weaning onward to foster calm temperaments and early human bonding.

The family-operated farm traces its roots to the late 1960s, blending traditional breeding practices with modern nutrition plans and energy-efficient barn design. Each breeding lineage is selected for balanced conformation and gentle disposition, qualities often noted by local butchers and neighboring farms. During seasonal farm visits, guests comment on the clean barns, quiet paddocks and the herd’s steady temperament, reflecting the farm’s focus on responsible stewardship and animal well-being.
