Kelly Smith and his family operate spring and fall calving herds in Simpson County, Kentucky.
For over two decades, Kelly was involved in a purebred seedstock operation. However, for the
last 20 years, he and his family have dedicated themselves to producing commercial cattle,
with an emphasis on quality replacement females.
The Smith operation is a pasture-based operation that has challenged its cow herd through
generations of only pasture and limited hay feeding. This unique environment and
management scheme is one that tends to identify lower maintenance females with superior
fertility and eliminates those with inherent problems. Therefore, heifers and cows purchased
from the Smith Family have proven to be environmentally adaptable...
The goal of HFF is moderate-sized, easy-fleshing, and easy-to-manage cattle, believing that an
efficient and low maintenance cow herd is the key to profitable commercial production.
Other important factors that are emphasized by the Smith family include calving ease, udder
quality, slick hair type, structural soundness, and superior disposition.
Heritage Family Farm currently markets steers and heifers, not used as replacements, with
grass-finishing beef operations in the northeast.
