Smith Hereford Farm

Smith Hereford Farm, Hereford cattle, Valley Grove, WV, sits in the Northern Panhandle near Pittsburgh, nestled amid rolling hills. The farm follows best practices for herd health, including routine vaccinations, nutritional monitoring, and regular veterinary evaluations. Its team collaborates with local extension services and participates in regional livestock workshops to maintain informed breeding decisions and track herd performance metrics. Breeding focuses on balanced conformation, strong maternal traits, and feed efficiency to support beef production and long-term herd vitality.

Cattle graze on open pastures beside brush-lined streams, supporting natural foraging and daily exercise, while seasonal pasture rotation enhances forage quality. Calving takes place each spring under close supervision to ensure healthy births and early colostrum intake. Daily handling from birth encourages calm temperaments, early confidence around people, and lays a foundation for easy management. By combining attentive husbandry with sustainable land management, the farm nurtures resilient Hereford cattle adapted to diverse agricultural settings while demonstrating mindful resource stewardship.
