Dustin Plunkett

Dustin Plunkett is a Hereford breeder in Jamestown, IN, in east central Indiana near Muncie. He has worked with Hereford cattle for several years, maintaining membership in the American Hereford Association and following recommended health screening protocols to ensure sturdy, disease-free stock.

His breeding stock undergoes structural evaluations and genetic profiling to maintain breed standards. Cattle graze on rotational pastures with daily care, early socialization and supplemental mineral-rich feeds, and herd health is monitored through regular veterinary visits. Calves remain with their dams in a low-stress environment until weaning, after which they are gently handled and accustomed to routine farm activities.

Plunkett’s passion for structural soundness has led to offspring that show balanced conformation and steady development. Local buyers note the consistency and gentle nature of his cattle, reflecting a breeding program focused on reliability and animal well-being. Performance records track growth rates and calving ease to support informed breeding choices.
