Bodine Farms

Bodine Farms is a Hereford cattle breeder in Hartly, DE, serving Kent County and the Delmarva Peninsula near Dover. For many years, Bodine Farms has been registered with the American Hereford Association, adhering to breed standards and conducting routine veterinary health screenings, including annual genetic testing for common disorders.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures enriched by native grasses and receive daily handling to encourage calm disposition. Calves remain with their dams until weaning, supporting natural social development and robust early growth. Local buyers often note the cattle’s docile temperament and sound conformation.

Owned and operated by a local family, the farm blends generational knowledge with modern husbandry practices. Rainwater collection, solar-powered equipment, and composting support the farm’s low-impact approach. Its proximity to regional livestock markets and processing facilities ensures timely transportation and access to fresh pastures for finishing cattle.
