Turkey Run Farms

Turkey Run Farms, Hereford cattle, Warrenton, VA, is a family-run ranch in Fauquier County and the Piedmont region near Washington. For over a dozen years it has maintained membership in the American Hereford Association and follows structured genetic and hoof health screening protocols. Animals receive year-round shelter in a cedar-framed barn stocked with fresh hay during winter months.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures shaded by mature oaks, and calves are introduced to handlers and resident dogs early to support calm temperaments. Breeding stock is evaluated for efficiency, weight gain and calving ease, and the herd grazes mixed-grass pastures enriched with clover and native species for balanced nutrition without synthetic fertilizers. The owners focus on structural soundness and maternal performance when selecting breeding pairs. Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and tidy equipment sheds. Turkey Run Farms hosts occasional educational visits for local schools and shares cattle-care tips at regional agricultural fairs.
