Ponytail Pastures

Ponytail Pastures, a breeder of Hereford cattle in Mckenney, VA, in Dinwiddie County near Richmond, is dedicated to producing robust grazing stock. It has cultivated livestock for more than fifteen years under American Hereford Association guidelines, with regular health testing for bovine respiratory and foot diseases. Calves are raised on open pastures with rotational grazing management and frequent handling to encourage calm temperaments.

The farm’s approach blends modern animal welfare standards with time-honored breeding lines that trace back to classic English bloodstock. Yearling heifers and bull calves graze on ryegrass and clover mixes to support steady growth and strong muscling. Visitors and local homesteaders often note the cattle’s consistent fertility rates and easy upkeep recorded by Ponytail Pastures. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary examinations and traceability procedures to ensure herd health and market transparency. The property, established by the founding family in the early 2000s, reflects a commitment to sustainable pasture management and community engagement.
