Dorman Farms

Dorman Farms is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Batavia, NY, serving Genesee County and the Buffalo area. Founded on principles of herd health and genetic consistency, the operation follows American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts regular veterinary screenings for bovine viral diarrhea, foot rot, and other common concerns. All breeding stock is registered, with pedigrees tracked to support predictable calving ease and uniform beef characteristics.

On pasture, cattle graze on a mix of cool-season grasses and legumes and receive supplemental hay and mineral blends during winter months. Daily low-stress handling and calf socialization aim to develop a calm temperament that eases routine care and finishing. Over successive seasons the farm’s steers have placed at local agricultural shows and feeding trials, reflecting careful selection for growth and uniformity. Rotational grazing practices also contribute to soil health and forage quality, underscoring the farm’s commitment to sustainable husbandry and dependable maternal lines.
