Daigle Livestock Co.

Daigle Livestock Co., miniature Hereford cattle, Erwin, TN in Unicoi County and the Appalachian Highlands near Johnson City. Jordan Daigle has been breeding miniature Hereford cattle for over fifteen years and is a member of state agricultural associations focused on breed preservation and best practices. All breeding stock undergoes regular health testing for common genetic conditions, and each animal is chosen for sound conformation and robust frame that fit small acreage operations.

Calves grow up in a pasture-based system with daily gentle handling that builds confidence and encourages early socialization with both humans and herd mates. A rotational grazing schedule across rolling hills promotes healthy soils and access to fresh forage, while simple shelter barns provide extra comfort through changing seasons. Their cattle have appeared in regional fairs and exhibitions, and detailed lineage records go back through multiple generations of foundation sires. Feedback from area smallholders highlights consistent calm temperament, easy handling and adaptability to family farms with modest acreage.
