Brown Farms

Brown Farms raises Chianina cattle in Lamoni, Iowa, on family-owned pastures in southwest Iowa near Kansas City. Dustin Brown and Kathy Brown have bred Chianina cattle for more than a decade with membership in national breed associations and mentorship programs. They keep detailed health records, perform routine vaccinations, and follow hoof trimming guidelines recommended by veterinarians to ensure herd well-being. Their cattle rotate through lush grazing paddocks and spend time in sheltered barns with open air access under attentive daily care.

A balanced feeding program of local hay, grain supplements, and mineral blends supports steady growth and reproductive health. Emphasizing gentle temperaments and low birth weights, Brown Farms selects animals suited to both small-scale ranchers and commercial herds. The farm’s traditional approach to husbandry blends family values with thoughtful breeding choices to maintain strong genetics across generations. They participate in regional fairs and share breeding insights with fellow farmers.
