​

​
SMALL = LESS FENCE
​
SMALL HERD = REDUCTION IN PROPERTY TAXES
​
SMALL COW = KID FRIENDLY

The Beginning
Where It All Began
In 2015 I was surfing the internet and instantly fell in love with a cow and calf for sale in Texas. One week later, I became the proud owner of my first Miniature Hereford cow and calf. We are proud to be one of the original registered Hereford farms in Louisiana. Each of our breeding stock is considered a part of our family. Fed twice a day, provided the best grass available, brushed routinely and stalled at the slightest hint of bad weather, our cows are truly spoiled to say the least. Come by to experience Oak Mound Farm for yourself!
MEET GRACIE AND MARTHA
MissionStatement
We want to encourage those landowners with small tracts of land that they can own cattle just like the large landowners. The beauty of this breed is that they require less space, eat less and are extremely gentle.
Oak Mound Farm
Home of Registered Miniature Herefords
Oak Mound Farm is a family owned farm that raises Registered Miniature Herefords for show and for breed stock. Each calf is nurtured from the time he/she is born so that you will receive a gentle and halter broken calf ready to become an asset to your herd.
