Shady Acres Farm

Shady Acres Farm is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Dayton, TX, Montgomery County and the piney woods near Houston. It holds membership in the American Hereford Association and carries out regular herd health screening to support genetic soundness. The cattle graze on mixed grass pastures with fenced rotational grazing, and calves receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of management.

Records are kept for each animal to track growth rates and maternal performance, ensuring consistent herd improvement. The family-owned operation has been on the same land for three generations, blending traditional ranching methods with modern animal welfare practices. With available shelter and natural shade, the herd thrives year-round while maintaining low stress levels.

Shady Acres Farm breeds cattle for reliable beef performance and steady dispositions suited to both small farms and larger ranches. It focuses on selecting for strong maternal instincts and feed efficiency to meet diverse operation needs.
