Bayou Farms

Bayou Farms is a Hereford cattle breeder in Iota, LA, serving the Acadiana region and the city of Lafayette. They adhere to breed registry standards and maintain health testing for common genetic conditions to support sound structure and longevity. Their cattle graze on open pasture with rotational management and receive regular veterinary care alongside daily handling that encourages calm temperaments. Facilities include sheltered loafing barns, shaded grazing areas, and well-maintained water sources to ensure animal comfort year-round.

A multigenerational operation, this farm integrates sustainable practices learned over years of ranching. Regional producers often mention the steady weight gain and docile nature of their calves, noting consistency in feed conversion. Bayou Farms also supports local agricultural education by offering farm tours that highlight responsible livestock stewardship and pasture management. Calves are weaned with attention to social groups, easing transition to new pastures.
