Dexter Farms

Dexter Farms, known for its Hereford cattle in Lafayette, IN, is situated in Tippecanoe County and the Wabash Valley near Indianapolis. The operation registers each animal with the American Hereford Association and follows recommended health testing protocols to support herd vitality. Calves graze on open pasture and receive early handling by staff to promote calm temperaments and strong maternal bonds.

Rolling fields surround a century old barn where cattle find shelter during weather extremes and handlers maintain daily assessments of each animal. Experience with rotational grazing and forage management helps maintain soil health and yields Hereford cattle noted for consistent growth and beef quality. Breeding focus balances structural soundness with docility, reflecting the farm’s commitment to sustainable practices and reliable performance for family farms. Regular hoof trimming and vaccination schedules minimize health setbacks, and purchasing farmers often praise the easygoing nature of young steers when integrating into new herds.
