Registered Hereford cattle is the largest of the three segments at our farm. The main advantages of the Registered Herefords are genetic purity, data availability through Expected Progeny Differences (EPD's), performance data availability, known pedigrees and the support of the American Hereford Association.
We focus on Polled Hereford cattle although we do occasionally use semen from a horned bull. Performance is the overriding factor since we can use polled cattle to remove the horns from future generations.
We have used many AHA Registered Sires including R117 Ribeye, Victor 719T, Domino 3027, NJW Trust, NJW Homegrown, Sentinel, Boyd Masterpiece, R294, Schu-Lar On Target, Lambert's Remedy, Durango 44U, Mark Domino 0945, Stockman, Boyd Worldwide and others. The majority of our registered females were originally purchased from Knoll Crest Farm in Red House, Virginia. Through the years we have purchased some exceptional females from across the country. Currently, we are retaining replacement females from our herd and buy very few from other sources.
We have the same goals for these cattle as we do our other segments as described under the Our Program tab, A vision.
