River Bend Ranch, LLC

River Bend Ranch, LLC is a Hereford cattle breeder in Vicksburg, MS, in western Mississippi near Jackson. It has been raising Hereford cattle for more than a decade, holds membership in the American Hereford Association, and follows a schedule of ultrasound and genetic testing to support calving ease and structural soundness.

Its herd grazes on rotational pastures, supported by open-air shelters and a gravity-fed spring water system, while calves are introduced to daily handling and low-stress weaning to encourage steady growth and calm temperaments. The ranch’s philosophy blends time-honored ranching methods with pasture management techniques that enhance soil health, plant diversity, and livestock comfort.

Over the years, River Bend Ranch cattle have earned ribbon placements at state fairs, and several bulls have been noted for their balanced muscle development and quiet disposition. On-site feeders and natural salt licks ensure consistent nutrition, and calving pens are sanitized regularly to reduce health risks. Feedback from local fencing contractors and neighboring farmers highlights the ranch’s open communication and detailed breeding records, reflecting a genuine investment in herd longevity.
