Dhandapani Farm

Dhandapani Farm breeds miniature Hereford cattle in Elkland, MO, Texas County and the Ozark Highlands near Springfield. Its approach centers on responsible breeding aligned with breed standards and routine health screenings overseen by a local veterinarian. The cattle graze on rotational pastures, with open-air shelters that offer protection from weather and ample space for natural behaviors.

Each calf is socialized from an early age, allowing for gentle handling that supports a calm temperament and ease of transition to new homes. Amanda Dhandapani draws on her years of experience managing a family-run farm, maintaining detailed health records to ensure genetic soundness. Prospective buyers often note the herd’s balanced conformation and steady growth rates, reflecting the farm’s commitment to lasting well-being. This hands-on approach is complemented by participation in local county agricultural events, where the farm shares best practices and gathers feedback.
