Jared Forgey

Jared Forgey raises Shorthorn cattle in Fairdale, KY, in the Ohio River Valley near Louisville. His farm participates in national breed associations and follows recommended health testing for hips, eyes and cardiac conditions. The herd grazes on rotational pastures enhanced with native grasses and legumes while calves spend extra time interacting with handlers to foster calm temperament and trust.

Animals from the operation are known for balanced frame, consistent weight gain and docile nature across diverse forage programs. The property features shaded loafing areas, renovated fence lines and access to clean water drawn from an on-site well. Routine veterinary checks and periodic feed analysis support a system that prioritizes steady growth and long-term soundness. Local producers sometimes visit to see handling practices and review breeding records. A balanced mineral program and custom forage blends reflect a focus on digestive health and uniform growth.
