Windy Ridge Ranch

Windy Ridge Ranch Hereford cattle in Crossville, Tennessee, is a family-owned operation situated on the Cumberland Plateau near Knoxville. The ranch has raised purebred Hereford cattle for more than two decades, maintains active membership in the American Hereford Association and follows industry guidelines for health testing, including screening for foot rot and Johne’s disease.

Calves spend their first months in pasture-based herds with constant access to clean water, sheltered loafing areas and regular handling to support calm temperaments. The owners run the operation as a family farm that balances time-honored breeding practices with modern nutrition plans, preserving surrounding grasslands through rotational grazing. Performance records are kept for weight gain and carcass quality, with breeding decisions guided by conformation and marbling scores. Adult and young stock roam across 200 acres of rolling fields, and visitors may arrange farm tours to learn about sustainable cattle stewardship.
