Wes And Brea Compton

Wes And Brea Compton are Hereford cattle breeders based in Columbia, KY, in Adair County and the Lake Cumberland region near Somerset. They have been raising Hereford cattle on the family farm for more than fifteen years and participate in health testing and genetic recording through the American Hereford Association and the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association.

Their attentive care begins at birth with calves placed in clean nursery paddocks and includes daily pasture checks, individualized nutrition plans and gentle handling to build early bonds with people. Grazing rotations are managed to protect soil health and support natural foraging while shelter structures provide shade and dry bedding during inclement weather.

They focus on breeding cattle with solid maternal instincts, efficient weight gain and quiet temperaments, attributes praised by other regional producers for consistency at sale and show. Visitors to the farm can see the herd at various growth stages and learn about sustainable cattle practices, contributing to a transparent and community-minded operation.
