Smk Minis

Smk Minis, Hereford cattle breeders in Cottageville, SC, are based in Beaufort County and the Lowcountry near Charleston. With over a decade of dedicated breeding under its belt, the farm is registered with the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health screenings, including genetic and fertility evaluations, for their herd. Calves grow up outdoors on open pasture-based environments with ample shade and shelter, where they receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments.

The family-run operation emphasizes sustainable grazing and rotational pastures to support herd health and local ecosystems. Several cows in the herd trace back to nationwide show lines, reflecting the breeders’ commitment to consistent conformation and balanced performance. Each herd member follows a tailored nutrition plan using locally grown forage and mineral supplements to encourage steady growth and fertility. Visitors note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and attention to individual animal needs, creating a foundation for responsible ownership.
