Vickie S Young

Vickie S Young raises Hereford cattle in Shelbyville, Tennessee, serving Bedford County and the Nashville area. With years of hands-on experience she maintains active registry participation, follows comprehensive herd health protocols, and ensures every calf undergoes routine veterinary checks, genetic screening for structural and performance traits, and vaccination according to industry guidelines. Cattle graze on rotationally managed pastures planted with mixed grasses and legumes, while warm-weather paddocks are rotated to preserve forage quality and support hoof health.

Daily handling routines focus on low-stress techniques and socialization, so the herd remains calm during moves, weaning, and healthy growth through all life stages. Family farm heritage and a commitment to sustainable grazing inform breeding decisions, targeting maternal efficiency, balanced frame, and a docile disposition that suits both small holders and larger ranching operations. Owners and farm staff collaborate to monitor pasture conditions and water sources, which helps cattle transition seamlessly between paddocks and maintain steady weight gains. Many buyers appreciate the consistent temperament, solid structural soundness, and adaptability of these cattle when integrated into varied management systems.
