Sarah Nesbitt

Sarah Nesbitt, Hereford cattle breeder in Meadville, PA, farms in northwest Pennsylvania near Erie. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association and follows its recommended health protocols, including routine veterinary examinations and vaccinations.

The family-run operation uses rotational grazing across mixed grass and clover pastures to encourage natural foraging and pasture health. Calves receive individual attention from birth, with daily handling to support gentle temperaments and smooth transitions to group pasture life. In winter months, mature cattle and young stock are housed in straw-bedded barns to maintain comfort and clean conditions. Foundation stock is selected for structural soundness and feed efficiency, with detailed performance records maintained for each animal.

Cattle from this herd regularly appear at regional livestock shows, reflecting attention to conformation and consistency across calves. This blend of traditional practices and careful record-keeping contributes to a herd known for consistent growth and reliable temperament.
