About Reed Cattle Company:
Jeffery Reed is the operator of his family’s generational one-thousand-acre cattle operation in Gilchrist County. In addition to cattle, the land also grows watermelon and grass seed, making the business diverse and sustainable. Mr. Reed is no stranger to being a steward of the land, as he has implementing practices such as variable rate fertilizing, soil moisture probes, and wetland conservation for years. He correlates proper rotational grazing practices with the health of his cattle. He knows that this notion starts from the ground up; rotational grazing has a positive impact on his grass seed operation as well.
In addition to being a full-time farmer and rancher, he serves on the Gilchrist County Soil and Water Board.
The Florida Farm Bureau is pleased to award Jeffery Reed of Reed Cattle Company for his environmental stewardship.
