2 Men & a Hen Farm

Telephone: +1 989-621-3270

2 Men & a Hen Farm raises traditionally horned Dexter cattle in Barryton, Michigan, in the heart of Central Michigan's agricultural countryside, roughly an hour north of Midland. Christopher and Ryan Thatcher run the operation as family farmers, with Ryan also serving as a Navy Reservist and both owners working full-time as nurses alongside their farming work.

The farm's approach centers on pasture-raised management, with Dexter cattle kept almost entirely on grass and receiving only a small daily ration of grain. That commitment to low-input, land-based husbandry carries across the rest of the operation as well, which includes pure Mangalitsa pigs and miniature highland cattle alongside the Dexters.

For those searching for Dexter cattle in Michigan, 2 Men & a Hen Farm offers traditionally horned stock raised under a husbandry model that emphasizes time on pasture over intensive grain feeding. Ryan Thatcher has also written publicly on Dexter breed history and genetics, reflecting a deeper interest in the breed that goes beyond day-to-day production.
