Ralph Bennett

Ralph Bennett breeds Hereford cattle in Centre Hall, PA, in Centre County and the Susquehanna Valley near State College. He maintains registration with the American Hereford Association and follows recognized health-testing protocols to support genetic integrity and reduce the risk of common genetic disorders. Cattle graze on rotating pastures and spend warm months on open fields to encourage natural behaviors.

Each calf receives early handling to promote calm temperaments and regular veterinary care throughout its growth. A modest herd size allows personal attention at every stage, reflecting a dedication to hands-on stewardship. Performance records are kept for all breeding animals to track growth rates and maternal qualities. The farm’s combination of pasture-based feeding and attentive monitoring aims to prepare calves for diverse climates and markets. Water sources are managed to ensure quality and each paddock is rested to maintain soil health.
