Westfall Polled Hereford Farms

Westfall Polled Hereford Farms raises Hereford cattle in Spencer, WV, Roane County and the Appalachian Plateau near Charleston. The farm has been in operation for over two decades and maintains registered stock with the American Hereford Association, ensuring cattle undergo regular health screening for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease. Breeding decisions are guided by performance records to support robust conformation and maternal traits.

Animals graze on rotational pastures during the day and return to well-ventilated barns at night, with daily handling to promote calm temperaments. Calves are socialized from birth and accustomed to equipment to ease future handling. This multi-generational family farm combines traditional husbandry with sustainable practices to nurture healthy herds and contribute to the local agricultural community.

Detailed record keeping tracks growth rates and reproductive performance to help refine selection criteria. Neighbors often comment on the gentle demeanor of the cattle and the scenic views of rolling fields.
