D & D Cattle

D & D Cattle, Hereford cattle in Ville Platte, LA, are a family-run operation in the Acadiana region near Lafayette. They have been raising Hereford cattle for many years and hold membership in the American Hereford Association and the Louisiana Cattlemen’s Association. Routine health screenings and genetic testing inform their breeding decisions.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture with access to sheltered calving areas, and each animal receives daily handling to build a calm temperament. Several bulls from their program have been selected for regional performance trials that assess growth and feed efficiency. Their focus on sustainable grazing practices supports pasture health and long-term soil vitality. Born and raised on the family farm, their calves receive close attention from birth through weaning to ensure consistent growth benchmarks. A network of local veterinarians and nutritionists collaborates with the team to refine feed programs and address herd health proactively.
