Fark Family Farm

Fark Family Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in West Manchester, OH, Darke County and the Dayton area. The farm has been active since 2009 and holds membership with the American Hereford Association, carrying out routine genetic evaluations and health screenings to promote physical soundness. Herds rotate through fenced pastures during growing seasons, with calves introduced early to handled environments that support social development.

A family-run operation, Fark Family Farm keeps meticulous records on lineage and focuses on low-stress weaning methods in covered pens. Barns are refreshed daily, and winter housing includes bedded stalls that encourage natural behaviors and minimize stress. Their cattle adapt well to the regional climate, thanks to a diet supplemented with hay grown on-site and trace mineral blocks. The farm participates annually in county fairs and local livestock exhibitions, earning recognition for well-muscled, structurally sound cattle. Many local buyers highlight the calm temperament of the cattle and note clear, ongoing conversations about animal care practices.
