Sherwood Acres raises belted Galloway cattle in the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass region, with operations spanning Oldham and Henry counties not far from Louisville. Jon C. Bednarski founded the program in 2003 when his family gifted him three belted Galloway heifers, and what began as a modest cow-calf herd has grown into a well-regarded grass-fed beef operation.
The farm spans roughly 150 acres with a meaningful portion of woodland enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. Cattle are raised on pasture for 20 to 24 months under a rotational grazing system, moved between paddocks on a regular cycle, with winter feeding confined to smaller pads where manure is collected and composted. Fencing and riparian buffers along Harrods Creek protect water quality on the property.
Jon's approach to land stewardship earned Sherwood Acres the inaugural Kentucky Leopold Conservation Award in 2013 and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's 2014 Region 1 Environmental Stewardship Award. He also served as president of the Belted Galloway Society, bringing visibility to the breed across the country. For buyers seeking belted Galloway cattle in Kentucky from a program rooted in documented conservation and direct-marketing experience, Sherwood Acres represents a long-running family operation with a clear record.
