Rodrick Russell

Rodrick Russell raises Hereford cattle in Oak Grove, LA, in West Carroll Parish in northeastern Louisiana near Monroe. The operation adheres to recommended herd health protocols with regular veterinary evaluations, vaccinations, and deworming schedules. Calves graze on open pasture and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Pastures are managed through rotational grazing to support soil health and forage diversity.

Breeding selections emphasize balanced structure, efficient weight gain, and maternal traits suited to regional pasture conditions, with periodic evaluations to track progeny performance. Hereford cattle are known for their docile nature, and this herd benefits from early socialization and low-stress handling, with genetic records and performance data guiding sound selection decisions. All cattle leave with complete health records and transition plans to support a smooth integration on new farms. This thoughtful approach to care and breeding supports consistent performance and animal well-being.
