Tim Parks

Tim Parks, Hereford cattle, Ellijay, GA, is based in Gilmer County and the North Georgia Mountains near Atlanta.

He has been raising Hereford cattle for more than a decade and follows guidelines of the American Hereford Association and Georgia Cattlemen’s Association. All breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings and receives daily attention from a small team on the family farm. Cattle are pasture-raised on rolling fields with access to clean water and shelter, and all paddocks are securely fenced. Raised on land that has been in the family for generations, he blends traditional practices with rotational grazing to maintain healthy pastures.

The operation emphasizes low-stress handling and gradual socialization to prepare the animals for various farm roles. Calves remain close to their mothers for feeding and learn pasture patterns before weaning. Tim Parks’s herd regularly participates in local agricultural events, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful stewardship.
