Dakota Meeks

Dakota Meeks is a Hereford cattle breeder in Whitesboro, TX, North Texas and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex near Dallas. Meeks has more than a decade of experience, follows registry guidelines and conducts routine health testing, including DNA screening and structural assessments, to ensure sound breeding stock. Animals graze on open pastures and are accustomed to regular handling from an early age in a pasture-based setting, promoting calm temperaments and easy management.

The operation draws on family ranching traditions to preserve Hereford traits known for maternal strength and efficient foraging, selecting bulls for longevity and docile nature. Meeks maintains small herd sizes to ensure individual attention and clear records for each animal’s lineage, health history and performance data. Meeks holds membership in the American Hereford Association and attends regional breeder gatherings to stay informed on advances in genetics and management practices. Calves are introduced to a vaccination schedule and carefully monitored for common health concerns, while adults receive rotational parasite control and trace-mineral supplements.
