Duval Farms

Duval Farms raises miniature Hereford cattle in Silverton, Oregon, in the Willamette Valley near Portland. The farm has been breeding for over 15 years and maintains active registration with the American Miniature Hereford Association, with regular health screenings for genetic disorders and hoof trimming protocols. Animals live in pasture rotations supplemented by shelter in timber-framed barns, and they join seasonal social groups to support gentle temperaments.

Every calf is handled daily from birth, ensuring early bond formation and calm behavior around visitors. A small herd structure allows personalized care, and decade-old pastures provide nutrient-rich grazing that aligns with sustainable practices.

Duval Farms also fosters connections between cattle and therapy programs, reflecting a commitment to community well-being. Jerry Duval draws on three generations of farming experience to guide breeding decisions, and frequent livestock shows have brought home ribbons for structural soundness. Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed pace and attentive staff, contributing to consistent feedback about the cattle’s docile nature.
