Tanya Glowacki

Tanya Glowacki is a Hereford cattle breeder in Gaithersburg, MD, serving Montgomery County, the Washington metro area near Washington, D.C.

Glowacki follows recommended health-screening and genetic-testing protocols while recording herd performance with standard registries such as the American Hereford Association and regional cattle groups. She maintains detailed records of structural evaluations, calving ease and maternal traits, reviewing data annually to refine breeding decisions. Her breeding goals focus on balanced growth, sound conformation and adaptability to seasonal changes common in Maryland. Glowacki participates in industry workshops to stay informed about emerging best practices in cattle care.

Calves remain with their mothers for optimal development and receive daily handling to promote a gentle disposition. Animals graze on rotational pastures planted with mixed grasses and legumes to support natural foraging behaviors and long-term soil health, and are housed in low-stress handling pens designed to support herd well-being. This hands-on approach reflects Glowacki’s commitment to low-stress husbandry and sustainable cattle farming.
