Byers Farm

Byers Farm, Irish Dexter cattle in Ontario, Canada, is located in the Eastern Ontario region near Ottawa. With over a decade raising Dexter cattle, it holds membership in the Canadian Dexter Cattle Association and performs regular health testing for genetic conditions.

Each calf is raised on rotating pastures, fed a grass-based diet, and accustomed to human interaction from birth. Cows and calves share a spacious barn during the winter months, ensuring comfort and social bonds. The farm’s small herd structure allows for personalized attention, which customers often note in reviews describing calm temperaments and sturdy builds suited for small-scale farms.

The farm follows a selective breeding program begun in 2010, gradually expanding the herd from three foundation cows to a resilient, well-milking group. Animals graze native grasses on limestone-rich soil, which supports dense mineral development and reflects the farm’s emphasis on natural nutrition.
