Upcoming Events: — April 20, 2013 - Female Event and Commercial Bull Sale For 60 years, Burns Farms has produced Hereford cattle that excel in both phenotype and genotypic qualities. Our goal is to produce cattle that make a profit for us and for our customers. All of our cattle have complete performance and carcass data. Raising and marketing of beef cattle has been a part of our family heritage for decades. The site in Pikeville, TN was settled by Randel and Helen Burns in 1947. Our registered Hereford cow herd started with the initial investment in two Hereford heifers purchased at the Duck River Hereford Association sale in 1953 as a 4-H project for Phillip. Later, Hereford females were purchased for Joe. The brothers worked together for decades to cultivate and develop reliable, efficient, and easily manageable cattle that will work in virtually any beef cattle operation.Phillip and Joe are both recognized cattlemen, proudly serving in multiple cattle associations over time. In addition to many other appointments, Phillip served as the president of the American Hereford Association and Joe has served on the board of directors for the Tennessee Cattleman’s Association and the Bredley/Bledsoe Farmers |
| Coop. Joe is currently
an Animal Health Inspector for the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Phillip’s children (Joe, David, and Sarah) and Joe’s
sons (Walter and
Sam) were blessed to grow up with exposure and involvement in the cattle industry and specifically,
Herefords. David currently
serves as manager for the business. Burns Farms historically ran all sales by private treaty. In 2009, we held our first annual bull sale and in 2011 began our female production sales. Extensive individual records have always been kept for the cow herd, both registered and commercial, with rigid culling for predictable performance. There is focus on use of genetic and estimated progeny difference information, phenotypic evaluation, and optimal nutrition to promote growth and development of high quality bulls and cows. We are proud to offer ready-to-work Hereford bulls, as well as excellent females, both Hereford and black baldies. Thank you for coming to our site, please contact us with any questions or interest. |
