Pleasure Ridge Farm

Pleasure Ridge Farm, Simmental cattle, Springfield, KY, in Washington County and the Lexington area. The farm has raised Simmental cattle for several generations and adheres to American Simmental Association guidelines, conducting annual veterinary evaluations, fertility and genetic screenings, and maintaining traceable pedigrees.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures of fescue and clover mixes, receive daily hands-on care, and follow a balanced nutritional plan to promote calm temperaments and proper socialization. Breeding priorities focus on structural soundness, balanced muscle development, growth performance, and maternal traits valued in beef herds. The farm’s pastures, shelter barns with straw bedding, and crisp spring calving paddocks support animals year-round and reflect a long-standing commitment to animal welfare.

Neighbors note the farm’s attentive staff, well-maintained fencing, and consistent herd quality as signs of reliable stewardship. During spring calving season, new calves join the herd in covered paddocks designed for safety, warmth, and ease of monitoring. The farm’s long-standing presence in the region has fostered close ties with local livestock veterinarians and cooperative extension specialists.
