Black Star Farm

Black Star Farm raises Chianina cattle in Brodhead, Kentucky, serving Rockcastle County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. The farm has been breeding Chianina cow-calf pairs for years and participates in breed association programs, following recognized health screening protocols.

The animals graze on mixed grass pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and ease of management. Calves remain with their dams through weaning to support natural development and social learning. They provide trace mineral supplementation and maintain strict biosecurity measures to protect herd health.

Black Star Farm is family operated by John Dyehouse and Emily Dyehouse on a historic hillside setting, and its cattle have been noted for steady weight gains and sound structure in independent reviews. Their cattle have been featured at regional agricultural shows, earning recognition for consistent muscling. The farm’s commitment to sustainable pasture management and attentive care has built a solid reputation among local producers.
