Eller Beefalo Farm

Eller Beefalo Farm, breeder of beefalo in Lafayette, TN, is located on the Highland Rim near Cookeville. Jackie Eller has been raising beefalo for over fifteen years, maintaining memberships with the American Beefalo Association and following recommended health testing for cattle breeding. The animals graze on rotational pastures seeded with native grasses, and calves are introduced to gentle handling early to ensure even temperament.

The farm combines sustainable husbandry with hands-on socialization, housing its herd in open-air barns sheltered by oak woodlands. Its layout blends rotational paddocks with protective shade trees, fostering a stress-free environment throughout the seasons. Jackie’s approach emphasizes low-stress breeding cycles and balanced nutrition, and mineral supplements sourced from regional cooperatives enrich the herd’s diet. A recent visitor noted the calves’ calm demeanor and robust health, and regular veterinary check-ups reflect the farm’s commitment to well-rounded animal care.
