Dirt Road Farm

Dirt Road Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in Monroe, NC, serving the Piedmont region near Charlotte. Founded more than a decade ago, the farm participates in American Hereford Association programs and follows comprehensive genetic and health testing standards, and every herd sire undergoes EPD evaluation before breeding. Animals graze on rotational pasture enriched with native grasses, and each calf receives regular handling and early socialization from birth to encourage calm temperaments and ease of handling.

The operation balances growth and maternal traits to produce cattle suited for varied farm sizes and diverse feeding programs, a practice noted by several local operators for delivering consistent performance under regional conditions. Facilities include shaded loafing areas, a covered feedlot adjacent to the family homestead, and naturally watered creeks that support animal wellbeing, reflecting generations of livestock care. Community members often commend the genuine attention given to each animal’s wellbeing and the transparent record-keeping that tracks individual health milestones.
