Schmidt Herefords

Schmidt Herefords breeds Hereford cattle in Hondo, TX, part of South Texas near San Antonio. The operation maintains registration with the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health testing protocols, including annual disease screenings and fertility evaluations, to ensure herd well-being.

Its cattle graze on native pastures with rotational grazing practices and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and ease of management. Rations are formulated with locally grown hay and mineral supplements to support steady growth year-round. The barn and shelter areas are cleaned regularly to promote health and comfort during extreme weather, and stock water is tested seasonally for quality. As a family-run farm with generations of experience, it emphasizes maternal strength and balanced growth in both bulls and heifers, backed by detailed performance data.

Detailed record-keeping tracks lineage, calving ease and performance metrics for each animal, with individual profiles maintained from birth. Local ranchers often note consistent temperament and beef quality when adding Schmidt Herefords livestock to their operations during grazing rotations.
