Promoting Black Herefords Across the Country

Welcome to Kelley Farms -a proud, family-owned operation in Adena, OH. Our herd features a powerful lineup of ABHA-registered Black Herefords, including purebred, percentage, and F1 cattle-along with exceptional Herefords.
We’re committed to producing genetics that perform in the pasture and the show ring.

Registered Hereford and Black Hereford Sires

We’ve traveled coast to coast in search of top-tier Hereford and Black Hereford bulls with unbeatable genetics. The best of the best. We brought them home and paired them with our registered Angus, Hereford and Black Hereford dams.

Our Cowhands

We’re proud of the help we have— it’s truly a family operation where everyone brings their own strengths to the table. Jason is our go-to when we need sound advice or a second opinion, always ready with solid input. Nicole is a natural cowhand with the cattle, and she and the grandchildren especially love working with the new calves. Whether it’s daily care or a last-minute task, they’re always ready to pitch in when needed.
