Dutch Meadows Farm raises lakenvelder (Dutch belted) cattle in Paradise, Pennsylvania, situated in Lancaster County about an hour from Philadelphia. The Stoltzfus family has worked this land for three generations, with roots on the farm going back to 1952, and has been raising Dutch belted cows since the mid-1990s when Alvin Stoltzfus made the deliberate switch from Holsteins to a breed better suited to grass-based farming.
The farm operates under organic and regenerative principles, avoiding pesticides, chemicals, and artificial growth hormones, with animals spending the bulk of their lives on pasture. The herd grazes across approximately 98 acres, most of it grassland, with woodlands available for shade. Animals are fed grass year-round with no grain, no GMO inputs, and no soy.
A notable focus of the breeding program is A2/A2 genetics — all heifers are tested, and those that do not carry the A2/A2 protein type are not retained. This selective work builds on more than 25 years of deliberate breeding for optimum genetics within the Dutch belted line. For buyers seeking lakenvelder cattle for sale in Pennsylvania from a multigenerational, organically managed herd, Dutch Meadows Farm represents one of the more established programs of its kind in Lancaster County.
