Walnut Ridge Farm

Walnut Ridge Farm breeds Hereford cattle in Point Pleasant, WV, in Mason County and the Ohio Valley near Huntington. The farm follows established breeding standards and participates in herd health programs overseen by the West Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, ensuring regular testing for common cattle diseases. Calves are gently introduced to daily handling on rotational pastures, allowing each animal room to graze while developing a calm temperament. Owners attend annual workshops on sustainable pasture management to enhance forage quality. Strict biosecurity measures help prevent disease introduction.

Housing combines open-sided barns and sheltered loafing areas, giving cattle access to fresh air and protection from extreme weather. Breeding stock traces back to bloodlines recognized for structural soundness and balanced muscling, a trait noted by local livestock judges at regional fairs. Walnut Ridge Farm maintains detailed records of each animal’s growth and performance, promoting transparency for fellow breeders and livestock buyers.
