Todd Cattle Company History

From humble beginnings, Roy set the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family tradition rooted in Kentucky soil. He built his small cattle operation on three cornerstones — honesty, diligence, and stewardship of the land. Roy’s son, Eddie Todd, inherited not only his father’s work ethic but also his vision.

Eddie expanded the family farm and introduced the Hereford breed, recognizing their unmatched combination of strength, docility, and beef quality.

Through careful selection, refined genetics, and a deep respect for the craft, Eddie elevated Todd Cattle Company into a respected name in the Hereford community — known for producing cattle that perform both in the pasture and in the show ring. 

Today, McKinzii, her husband Phillip, Ellen, and Bo Todd proudly carry forward the family’s legacy with the same passion and principle that built it.

They’ve each taken active roles in the farm’s growth — representing the heart of modern Kentucky agriculture while staying rooted in tradition.

 

As active members of the American Hereford Association, the Todd family has earned blue ribbons and champion titles across the nation, proving that true quality is bred through consistency, care, and community. 

The next chapter belongs to Tripp, Eddie’s grandson and the fourth generation of Todd cattlemen.

Already a familiar face in the barns and pastures, Tripp is learning the values that built this family — faith, hard work, and respect for the land and livestock.

His involvement ensures that the Todd family name will continue to represent excellence for generations to come.
