Dustin & Michelle Malone

Dustin & Michelle Malone, Hereford cattle, Emporia, KS, in Lyon County and the Flint Hills near Topeka. They have been raising Herefords for over a decade, participating in the American Hereford Association and following comprehensive health testing protocols. Their breeding program emphasizes balanced structure and gentle temperament, with calves raised on pasture and introduced to daily handling from an early age.

The farm’s rolling prairie pastures provide a spacious setting where cattle graze rotationally, supporting natural foraging habits and herd well-being. A multi-generational family operation, they focus on longevity and consistency, with several herd sires tracing back to lineages known for maternal strength. This approach has earned praise for reliable growth rates and calm dispositions among buyers.

They routinely share expertise at local livestock workshops and contribute to county fair exhibitions to support community knowledge. Quality of life and ethical stewardship guide their daily routines and long-term plans.
