D-5 Mini Herefords

D-5 Mini Herefords is a breeder of miniature Hereford cattle in Schulenburg, TX, Central Texas near Austin. With years of experience in miniature cattle husbandry, Vicky Dusek ensures routine health screenings for genetic conditions common in the breed and partners with local veterinarians for preventive care. Calves spend their first months on open pasture with access to shaded loafing areas and daily interaction to promote a calm, well-adapted temperament.

A family-operated farm since its founding, the operation focuses on practical traits such as docility and maternal instincts suited to small-scale homesteads. Owners often comment on the herd’s steady performance and the personal support provided throughout the breeding process. Pastures are rotated seasonally to maintain soil health and provide diverse forage, and cattle are observed daily for well-being and proper growth. Each animal receives individualized attention from birth to sale, with detailed records shared to support new owners as they integrate cattle into their own operations.
