The West Farms

The West Farms is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Maud, TX, serving East Texas near Tyler. Over the past twenty years their operation has grown steadily, with participation in breed associations and regular health screenings to ensure the herd’s well-being.

Cattle roam generous pastures and retreat to shaded barns during extreme weather, and daily handling from weaning onward helps establish calm, confident animals. The farm draws on a family ranching heritage and is recognized among local producers for focusing on maternal traits and sound structure in breeding decisions.

Sustainable grazing practices preserve soil fertility and encourage diverse forage growth, which benefits both livestock and the surrounding ecosystem. Experienced staff share practical insights on herd management, helping neighbors adapt these methods to varied ranching conditions. Calves typically reach market weight with optimal feed conversion, which reflects the farm’s balanced approach to animal welfare and performance.
