Phillip A Moon & Lisa D Sparrow

Phillip A Moon & Lisa D Sparrow are Hereford cattle breeders in Harrison, AR, serving Boone County and the Ozark Mountains near Fayetteville.

They have more than a decade of experience and hold membership in the American Hereford Association, with routine genetic evaluations and health testing on every calf. Breeding selection prioritizes maternal traits, feed conversion efficiency and calving ease. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and calves spend time in pasture-based nurseries to promote sturdy growth and calm temperaments. Newborn calves undergo early wellness checks and are introduced to herd mates within 48 hours to support immunity and social bonds.

The farm traces its roots to midwestern family ranching traditions, and several of its cattle have placed at local agricultural fairs. Focus on structural soundness and gentle handling, they aim for a herd that adapts well to diverse farm operations. Sustainable pasture management is integral to their approach, ensuring long-term forage health and resilience.
