Swafford Acres

Swafford Acres, Spanish criollos, Somewhere, AL/TN, in the southeastern US near Nashville, maintains a small herd dedicated to preserving distinctive heritage traits. Established by Roy Swafford over a decade ago, it holds registration with regional livestock associations and follows recommended health-testing protocols for brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis. Animals graze on sustainable, rotational pastures at the family-run farm, where calves are socialized from birth and handled with consistent daily care.

The breeding philosophy emphasizes structural soundness, adaptability to local climates, and natural grazing behaviors. Certain bloodlines have earned recognition at county fairs for their resilience and temperament. Genetic diversity is monitored through detailed record-keeping to maintain robust and healthy herds. Each animal’s progress is tracked from birth to market readiness, ensuring consistent care at every stage. Local farmers and veterinarians often consult with Swafford Acres for advice on low-maintenance cattle management.
