Poverty Canyon Ranch

Poverty Canyon Ranch, Hereford cattle, San Angelo, TX, is run by Jerry Lewis and Paula Lewis. They have been breeding Hereford cattle for more than a decade and hold registrations with national cattle associations, operating in West Texas and near the city of Midland.

The herd grazes on native grasses and receives daily health monitoring, with calves socialized from birth to build confidence around handlers. Their pasture-based approach reflects a commitment to low-stress care and careful nutrition planning.

Cattle from this ranch have placed in regional fairs, and visitors often remark on the herd’s calm demeanor during farm tours. Focused handling and a steady rotation of grazing pastures help support sound structure and overall well-being. Biosecurity measures include quarantine for new arrivals and routine herd health checks to minimize disease risk. Calves are ear-tagged for traceability, and maintenance of environmental enrichments like shade structures helps reduce stress in all seasons.
