R&r Farms

R&r Farms, Simmental cattle, Tompkinsville, KY, Monroe County and the Pennyroyal Plateau near Bowling Green. Established in 1998, it holds membership in the American Simmental Association and conducts routine genetic and fertility testing to safeguard herd health. Calves are raised on open pastures with daily access to shelter, allowing gentle handling and early socialization.

The farm maintains tidy barns and rotating grazing paddocks to support animal welfare throughout the seasons. With a family tradition spanning three generations, it emphasizes maternal traits and structural soundness in every herd addition. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the cattle and transparent record-keeping for each animal.

All cattle graze on nutrient-rich pasture in the rolling limestone soils of the region, with occasional supplementation of locally milled grains. Calf health is monitored from birth using a detailed record system that meets breed registry standards.
