2 Men & a Hen Farm

2 Men & a Hen Farm are Dexter cattle breeders in Barryton, Michigan, part of Central Michigan near Midland. They have more than a decade of experience following recommended health screenings and maintaining bloodline records to support strong, adaptable cattle.

Their pasture-based system gives calves room to graze and learn natural behaviors under close supervision, while daily interactions help develop calm temperaments. They maintain clean barns and natural shelters to protect animals from Michigan weather extremes. Each calf’s lineage is recorded in line with association standards to ensure traceability.

Born on a family homestead established generations ago, each animal benefits from a legacy of careful selection for fertility and longevity. Local farmers and homesteaders often note the breed’s ease of handling and versatility for grass-fed programs. Their goal is to promote sustainable agriculture by selecting cattle suited to small-scale and pasture-based operations.
