The farm follows American Hereford Association guidelines and its herd undergoes routine health screenings and fertility evaluations. Since its establishment it has maintained detailed breeding records and works with local extension agents on pasture management.

Gentle handling from birth supports calm temperaments and helps young cattle adapt to varied farm work. Breeding selections emphasize resilience in humid summers and mild winters, reflecting regional climate demands.
