Bayer Farms

Bayer Farms is a Chianina breeder in Albia, IA, serving Monroe County and central Iowa near Des Moines. With years of experience, the farm follows recommended health protocols and maintains registrations with major cattle associations.

Cattle graze on rotating pastures and receive gentle handling from birth to encourage confidence and socialization. All breeding stock undergoes routine fertility screening and nutritional assessments to support herd vitality. The farm balances traditional breeding practices with attention to structural soundness and calm temperament, offering cattle suited for both show rings and sustainable operations.

The farm participates in the Iowa Beef Cattle Association’s events to stay connected and share best practices. Known for lean muscle development and a docile nature, its Chianina cattle mature into strong-framed animals suited for diverse breeding goals. Owner Bill Bayer draws on local grazing methods to enhance animal welfare and pasture health.
