Robert P Neligan, Hereford cattle, Eatonton, GA, in Putnam County and the Piedmont region near Athens.

For more than a decade the farm has followed breed registry guidelines while participating in regional stewardship initiatives and routine veterinary evaluations, including genetic screenings. Calves join rotational grazing cycles within managed pastures to develop strong feed efficiency and natural behaviors, with shade shelters and clean watering systems supporting health. Regular soil and forage testing informs balanced nutrition plans, and on-site calving facilities offer shelter during variable weather while proper bedding and airflow protect newborns in winter months.

Low-stress handling techniques support gentle temperaments that ease cattle movement and foster safe interactions on family-run grounds. Detailed health records are maintained electronically to track each animal’s vaccinations and growth milestones. The operation partners with local extension programs to refine sustainable grazing practices adapted to seasonal changes. This commitment to attentive care and environmental stewardship underpins consistent herd quality and well-being.
