Vada Anna Vickland

Vada Anna Vickland raises Hereford cattle in Longmont, CO, in Boulder County and the Front Range near Denver. She is a member of the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health screening protocols for both calves and adult cattle. The farm maintains detailed pedigree records to uphold breed characteristics and temperament standards.

Her cattle graze on open pastures with access to clean water sources year-round, and they receive daily handling to encourage a calm temperament. Calving occurs in early spring on site, where newborn calves remain close to their mothers under attentive care. The farm’s feeding program balances forage and supplemental minerals to support steady growth. Rotational grazing helps preserve native grasslands and reduce environmental impact.

The operation emphasizes low-stress management methods that promote animal welfare and sustainable land use, and animals often roam in a family-oriented herd structure that strengthens social bonds and eases routine checkups.
