Windy Ridge Farm

Windy Ridge Farm is a Hereford breeder in Wallingford, KY, serving the Appalachian Kentucky region near Lexington. Since 2005, the farm has bred Hereford cattle with attention to maternal traits, calf vigor and disposition, following guidelines set by the American Hereford Association.

All breeding stock undergoes routine health screening including genetic testing for recessive conditions and annual veterinary assessments. Calves are raised on open pasture, moved through rotational grazing paddocks to support forage diversity and soil health, and receive gentle daily handling to promote calm temperaments. Built on family land for generations, Windy Ridge Farm balances traditional husbandry with modern record keeping to preserve bloodlines and support sustainable practices.

Visitors often note the cattle’s steady growth rates and friendly nature, reflecting the farm’s long-standing focus on animal welfare and community stewardship. The farm regularly shares breeding insights at county fairs and supports neighboring operations by supplying proven bulls for crossbreeding programs.
