Reed and Heather Graham
On a stretch of gravel road in Wolfe County, you’ll find Reed and Heather Graham along with their one-year old son, John Henry. College sweethearts, the Grahams have grown not just their family, but a farm together.
Married since 2013, the Grahams have come a long way since they met in their chemistry course at Morehead State University. Now, Reed and Heather both work in extension and have developed a bond with many of the surrounding businesses in Eastern Kentucky, in hopes of increasing the support of local farmers and local products.

To the Graham’s, farming is more than just a check. “While we may have fewer numbers right now, quality is our main concern” said Heather.
Knowing the product from beginning to end and what type of work goes into producing their cattle is what makes the Graham’s proud to have their cattle in the program. Being proud of local farmers and supporting Kentucky agriculture is one of their favorite parts of Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground Beef, but they would love for consumers to take the initiative to learn more about cattle farming and the impact that quality can make.
Farming in Eastern Kentucky can have its difficulties, from the type of land to the available markets but Reed and Heather make the most of it. From working in the agriculture industry to being involved as producers themselves, the Graham Family has a deep perspective at not only what it takes to be a farmer but how important it is. Young farming families like the Graham’s show how important it is to instill not only passion for agriculture in youth but pride, just as they are with their son.
