Ravens Perch Ranch

Ravens Perch Ranch is raising miniature Hereford cattle in Huachuca City, AZ, in Southeastern Arizona near Sierra Vista. Its herd is managed according to best practices in small-scale breeding, including routine veterinary care and basic health testing to support sturdy calves. Animals enjoy daily turnout on irrigated pasture and spend evenings in sheltered loafing areas that encourage social bonds and gentle handling.

The ranch’s small herd size allows each calf to receive hands-on attention from weaning through mature breeding stock. Owner Kristina Smith combines a background in agricultural studies with a passion for sustaining traditional ranching methods that prioritize long term health and temperament. Calves adapt well to family farms and homesteads, making them a steady choice for those seeking low maintenance beef prospects in desert edge settings.

Regular hoof trimming and parasite control are integrated into the herd’s routine to promote resilience in varied climates. Visitors to the ranch note the quiet temperament of the cattle and the thoughtful land stewardship that maintains healthy forage and water resources.
