Daryl & Ide Marshall

Daryl & Ide Marshall are Hereford cattle breeders in Bloomfield, NY, in Ontario County and the Finger Lakes near Rochester. They have been raising Herefords for over 20 years as members of the American Hereford Association, participating in national registry programs to maintain accurate pedigrees and performance records. Their breeding stock undergoes regular health screening with ultrasound and genetic tests to support fertility and structural soundness.

Calves are born and raised on rotational pasture, with daily turnout and close monitoring through calving and weaning. The herd grazes on mixed native grasses and legumes, reflecting the Marshalls’ commitment to sustainable land management and gentle handling. Early socialization routines include group housing and low stress sorting to foster calm, adaptable cattle.

The Marshalls began their operation on a restored dairy farm and continue multi-generational land stewardship alongside their Hereford program. A recent review highlighted clear communication, transparent calving records and the consistent quality of animal disposition.
