Rylie Melancon

Rylie Melancon is a Hereford cattle breeder in Woodville, Mississippi, in Wilkinson County and southwest Mississippi near Jackson. With more than a decade of experience, the farm maintains registered bloodlines and participates in industry associations, and all breeding stock undergoes routine health screening. Calves are raised on open pasture with access to shade and shelter, and daily handling helps them stay calm around visitors and farm life.

The operation blends traditional farm work with modern animal welfare standards, focusing on balanced nutrition and stress-free weaning. The farm’s roots reach back several generations of southern stockmanship, a legacy reflected in the gentle temperament and sturdy build of each herd member. Local beef producers value the consistent quality of Melancon’s cattle at neighborhood livestock auctions, where the herd’s Hereford genetics are known for durability and maternal traits. Regular veterinary checkups and seasonal vaccinations are part of the herd health plan to ensure resilience against common livestock diseases.
