Sticks Farm

Sticks Farm breeds Hereford cattle in Greenville, NC, Pitt County and the coastal plains near New Bern. It participates in the American Hereford Association, maintains detailed breeding records and adheres to recommended genetic and health screenings for all breeding stock. Biosecure protocols, balanced nutrition plans and routine performance monitoring are central to the farm’s careful approach to herd management.

The herd grazes on rotating pastures, supplemented with forage tests to optimize animal health and pasture quality under veterinary oversight. Daily handling encourages calm temperaments, and open-sided barns offer protection from weather extremes while allowing fresh air and natural light year-round. Several calves have achieved top percentile gains in registry performance evaluations, highlighting the emphasis on structural soundness and maternal traits valued by beef producers.

Additional focus on sustainable land management practices preserves soil health, supports local ecosystems and promotes resilience across grazing areas. Long-standing family stewardship ensures that each animal’s well-being remains a priority from birth through every stage of growth and breeding.
