Pasture Raised for Beauty and Function
The Craig Farm breeds Miniature Hereford cattle in northwest Georgia. Our herd began in 2022 with foundation stock purchased from John Cooper's Spring Trail Ranch in North Carolina. All of our cattle are registered with the American Hereford Association with DNA and parent verification on file. We hope to make a name for ourselves as breeders of top notch Mini Herefords.
Our goal is to breed short, structurally correct cattle that perform on grass. Preference is given to cows in the 38-42 inch height range. Although their stature is small, our Herefords are stout. We select for easy calving and good growth on pasture. We breed for polled Mini Herefords using a homozygous polled bull over polled and exceptional horned females. We are not a large operation; we aim to have 5-10 very nice calves born each year.
We prioritize low stress and low impact management strategies. Our cattle are grass-fed and rotationally grazed through our pastures with access to free choice loose mineral. A protein tub is available in winter. A small amount of grain is fed to train the cows to come when called. We do utilize vaccines, antibiotics, and other treatments in the herd but we are very mindful of how and when they are used.

Mini Herefords For Sale?
As of August 2026
We currently have no availability. We expect more calves in the late fall and into winter. There may be a steer or two available here or there, but I do not anticipate having any registered animals to sell for the remainder of the year.
Please understand we are a small operation. We typically produce 5-10 very nice calves each year, that's it. Heifers are spoken for quickly - typically reserved before weaning with a deposit. We do not register any bull calf until he is sold, because many go to the locker.
