Roanic Ranch

Roanic Ranch raises miniature Hereford cattle in Quebeck, TN, in Stewart County and West Tennessee near Nashville. Nico Oosthuizen has cultivated his herd for several years at Roanic Ranch, adhering to American Hereford Association registry standards and prioritizing routine veterinary health testing. Calves are born and raised on open pasture with rotational grazing to encourage strong hooves and natural foraging habits.

Daily handling from birth helps foster a calm disposition, making the cattle approachable for small-scale farms and homesteads seeking consistent temperament. This family-run ranch sits among rolling limestone hills, providing a mineral-rich forage base that supports sturdy conformation and efficient weight gain.

Prospective owners appreciate the herd’s reliable maternal instincts, balanced frame and feed conversion, qualities observed in each weaned calf. Breeding goals focus on longevity, fertility and moderate frame size to suit operations aiming for sustainable grass-based production. Calf records and performance data are maintained to support informed breeding decisions and long-term herd improvement.
