Katie Aguirre

Katie Aguirre breeds Hereford cattle in Hillsville, VA, in Carroll County and the Blue Ridge Highlands near Roanoke. With more than a decade of breeding experience, she maintains detailed records of health protocols and holds membership in the American Hereford Association.

Cattle graze on fenced pastures managed through rotational grazing, to promote pasture health and natural behaviors. Calves receive daily handling and exposure to farm routines, fostering calm temperaments and ease of management. The herd benefits from routine veterinary oversight, including vaccinations and genetic screenings. Heifers undergo structural evaluations to ensure soundness, and steers are selected for balanced growth rates.

Building on a family tradition of ranching, her operation focuses on balanced growth and sound structure, earning appreciation from local farmers for uniformity and reliability. This thoughtful approach supports both the wellness of the cattle and the long-term sustainability of the land.
